Walked early again to beat the heat and so glad we did. I knew that we would be climbing a "hill" today but had no idea the elevation gain until I started to figure out miles. We look at the map the night before to get an idea of where we might stop, but it truly is an unknown until we put our sleeping bags on our beds where we actually will sleep. It all depends on how tired or hot I am and how much distance it is to the next town.
During the day we walked through pastures with beautiful brown cows. We had just stopped for water at a fountain and taken a picture of Doug with Juan Jose (a fellow pilgrim) when on the same bridge of the picture came a dog and shepherd herding 3 cows down the middle of town. I was so stunned and Juan Jose had to jump out of the way that I got pictures of the back end of the cows! What fun!!
The day was hard, but so fulfilling knowing that we are moving forward everyday. The views are spectacular here, but our cameras don't do it justice. We have wished for Don's camera more than once on this trip. We have entered into the area called Galicia. Doug says that we have only 96.4 miles to go!!
