Beautiful rural walk today with fantastic weather. The green scenery is so breathtaking. Pictures just don't do it justice. Many roosters cocked hello as we entered every village. Luckily we didn't have to follow the muddy track below. That road was quite muddy.

We arrived in O Pedrouzo with very tired feet. It was a long day and Ann-Marie was getting some nerve pain in her toes, that continued during the night. Having a blanket on the toes was painful. We had a very nice place to stay in O Pedrouzo and sore feet and all we explored the village and had a nice dinner. We found this nice church on our walk, Santa Eulalie de Arca. The altar was amazing with the shell behind it.

Met Jean Paul from Brittany area of France. Annie got another French language fix. He is a salt miner on the low tide salt flats in Guerande, France. He said it's the best sea salt in the world. He has walked from his home in Brittany. He is a runner and wishes he could run to Santiago vs walk! We enjoyed him very much. Kept seeing him everywhere until Santiago. He said "Je suis partout" which means "I am everywhere". He had been walking for 61 days and told us of his wife who has ovarian cancer and getting chemo treatments. They are hoping that she will be well enough to walk a Spanish camino next year. She has been fighting cancer now for 4 years. He told some other pilgrims from France that Ann-Marie was the americaine who speaks french.
