Day 24~ July 23~ On the Road

Cacabelos to Trabadelo, 7 hours, 11.2 miles

Spent the early morning, in the dark, saying to ourselves that maybe we should have left a little later. We've been getting up at 5:30 in an effort to beat the heat. But the sun is obviously rising later than it was three weeks ago so maybe I can talk Doug into an extra 15 minutes of sleep from here on out. The signs right now are few and far between and there wasn't a yellow arrow to be seen. The first 3rd of the day was spent walking through vineyards and orchards. Very quiet and peaceful in the morning as the sun was rising.

We had made the decision the night before that we would go the harder up/down the hills trail and avoid the path that went along the river and road. I was opting for less noise, but God had another plan. We realized about a 1/4 mile down the road that we missed a sign or arrow. It turned out for the best!! Even though we had the road noise, the river was a bit cooler than up on the hill would have been. As it is the heat was getting to me by noon. Alls well!

Today I am a little cranky, tired and hot even after a shower. Tomorrow is another day.
