Gonzar to Melide

Today was a crazy day. I got up to rain. My plan was to walk 32k. So off I went. It is crazy for me to think about just putting on my rain gear, covering my pack and hitting the road, but that is what I did.


Since it was raining there is just one photo today.

Melide is famous for Pulpo which is octopus. That’s what I am having for dinner. I will report back.

Sarria to Gonzar

Today was a beautiful but windy day. I walked 30k with some serious purpose.


Very cool the water just flows down from the hills. This is dairy country. Note the lush green grass below.


Check out the ostrich


Last night I was sitting in an Italian restaurant having dinner and met a pilgrim named Brian from Auburn, CA.

This morning I met him again with his son-in-law also Brian who is a 1999 grad of Jesuit. Can’t remember his last name though. His brother graduated with Matt.


Quite the modern house.


I walked across this bridge today. Beautiful lake.

Fonfria to Sarria

Today started out with snow. Most of the walk was cold with a few rain showers.


My mom encouraging me to carry on.


The crazy steep paths downhill the rocks are wild.


Tonight I stayed in a convent. It was really nice.


The Jesuits are here too!


I thought it would be interesting to see my nightly routine.


My luxurious bed. Note the paper mattress.


My clothes organized for re-packing tomorrow morning.


My pack, rain coat, rain cover for my pack and sandals.

All ready for the new day.
