To Santiago de Compostela: 12 km
Walked today: 16 km
Total walked: 703 km
We started the day late. We were ready for breakfast at 7:30 am. When we went down, our German friend Clemens was already there so we joined the old gentleman for a last meal together. He confessed that he is nervous. He will walk to Santiago de Compostela today and go home tomorrow.
My friend Ksinia should be in Santiago by now and she flies away tonight. LeeRay is like ng gone. It is sad to see our friends for the last time. Likely we will never see them again.
We walked the 12 km we had planned for today. I found it very hard. No energy, on top, my arthritic hand is acting up and is painful. Slowly we approached our goal.
En el Camino encontramos una iglesia, it was up from the road so its front yard was a bit hidden from the road. An idea al place for the rosary.
3 or 4 kilometers ahead we met Donna. She does not want to arrive today to Santiago so she is staying at an albergue near by.
A few kilometers more we met two young women from Holland. They were trying to figure out where we were and where they could stay.
Very soon we arrived to our Casa rural. It is one of the fanciest places we have been at in this Camino. While we were checking in the dutch gals arrived. They will be staying here too.
In the afternoon we rested, we walked around a bit, we sat in the garden, we talked to the girls, it was a pleasant break. We walked a total of only 16 km, about half of our daily exercise.
The restaurant is a classy one, Pepe, our host is a gourmet chef. We selected black rice with cuttlefish. It was very good and the desserts were spectacular as well, a cheese cake for her and ojaldra de manzana (like apple strudel) for me.
God willing tomorrow we will be in Santiago at the tomb of the apostle. St. James pray for us.
