Day 21 9 June Palas del Rei to Casteneda

16 miles today

Pazo de Sedor tonight

Mostly up all day.

Overcast and intermittent rain all day

 
Friends along the path.

In Melide, at the city market to buy our lunch. Joe and Shiela, Canadians, did the same and we entertained locals while eating in the park. Also, we stopped in the St. Mary's Romanesque church. Ann-Marie lit a candle for her father, Arthur.

Later, stopped at a small church in Boente. The priest was there and said a short blessing for us pilgrims and told about the church and all of the statuary.

We expected warm dry day, but got neither.The elevation map depicted an easy day, but it was harder than expected.

 
Tired boots!

Ann-Marie joined the blister club today! Just 2 days before Santiago. Go figure.

We arrived to find the casa rural to be a 300 year old restored stone farm house and dining room formerly a stable. Lovely.

The Inn Keeper, Xuan!

You both are getting so close to Santiago de Campostela! What an amazing journey this has been for you two! Nancy and I look forward to hearing more about your experiences when you return to Colorado. Safe travels and Buen Camino!
