115.2 kms; 5 days to Santiago

Old door used as table in Triastela albergue.
Beautiful walk today --cool breeze, improved terrain. However, I think I may have shin splints so the pain detracted from the views.
A praying mantis  on my pole. Pray for me....
Found  some Holsteins.  (one of Emma's first words.  Hi Emma.  Remember me??)
Rock fences.
Marshmallow hay bales.
Barn.
Cow with new calf.
 
Could be in Long Reach!! The leaves on the birch trees are changing and starting to fall.  The landscape is quite similar to NB right now.
 
Tomorrow we begin the 5 day leg of the Camino that must be completed on foot in order to receive a compostela, a certificate of completion, so absolutely no bus or taxi or burro or helicopter.  We plan to walk into Santiago, hand in hand, on October 1st!!

  3. Great photos and comments, Barb. Sorry about the stress induced pain you guys are having. Soon be over. Good luck and good weather in the last "leg" of your incredible journey. And as for Tom: What a great weight loss plan! Stay home, sleep in your own bed, and pine for your absent partner. You should patent it, you turkey!
