The wildflowers are phenomenal. This one is basically green but has all sorts of whorls and cups. Quite intricate.

Second Day
Yesterday we got to a little village called Obana which was about 21.5 k (13.3 mi) from where we started. Today we had hoped to do a bit better but landed footsore and weary in Villafuerte after 20.7 k (12.86 mi). There were a lot of smaller hills today. We also walked on an old Roman Road and crossed several old Roman bridges. The bridges are cool. The road is cool as a concept but is essentially cobblestone between flat curbs. The curbs are nice but the cobblestones make for very poor footing after more than 1,000 years of erosion.

How is your spirit? Sounds like very difficult walking.
ReplyDeleteIt was hard for us. A little harder than we expected. But I think our spirits are pretty good. My feet feel a lot better after a rest. My worry is whether they will be hurting when we start tomorrow. But we'll just have to see
DeleteWe expect to be in Santiago De Compostela June 9th. Your pilgrimage means a lot to us since we are following you! I love seeing the photos and reading your comments.
ReplyDeleteI think you'll be there long before I make it there. What are you coming to do?
