Easy Day Along The Coast Short ride today, only 29 miles mostly along the coast. Short blog today. Cathy is going to post some highlights. Photos aren’t loading secondary to poor connections. Will try again when we have better WiFi (wee fee in España) Love that early morning pre ride cafe con leche! Met a new friend today…Ann, who started her Camino in Belgium. Laundry day at the albergue. Pilgrams dinner. So fun to sit and converse with people from Japan, Ireland, Norway, Sweden, and France. All at one table!
Lucinda with the charm I gave her for helping us. We left the Green Coast of Spain today and turned sharply inland into the green mountains of Galicia. Truly a turning point on our trip. More than once have we wondered if we would make it this far. Doubt creeps in like an insidious snake looking to strike in a moment of weakness. After two very long, very hard days we had a shorter day today, only rolling outward 28 miles and upward 3000 ft. The fog over the coast this morning was cool and wispy like the vapor of sublimated air over dry ice. We knew we had a shorter day today so we rolled out a bit late and by the time we mounted our rails, the fog had lifted giving way to the heavier vapors of the coastal cloud-cover. The first five miles were precious. Rolling along the coast with no traffic on flat roads and the most incredible ocean scenery you can imagine. We stopped at a cafe which, much to our dismay, was closed but afforded us the chance to dismount and look eastwar...
WOW!!! Lynard
