Amazingly only 134 km's to go! I must have miscalculated somewhere before! Today was probably the best day on the Camino to date. The weather, trails, and views were all fantastic. We left the strange shell motif albergue at about 8:30 this morning, since it has been taking that long for the sun to come up. The forest trails are very nice, and it felt like a nice fall day today. We had bought some fruit, chocolate, and snacks before we left, so that we would have something for lunch. There was no place in between towns today to buy lunch. In a little village, we found a bench to sit at about noon. The town seemed deserted as most around here do. Many abandoned houses. As we ate, a local villager happened by, and explained that there was only 3 families in the whole town. Most all retired people. Our 21 kilometer day ended at Xunqueira de Ambía. Tomorrow we walk 22 km's to the large city of Ourense! And from Chantal; Aujourd'hui 21km par une magnifique journée automnale et ensoleillée! Un sentier à travers la forêt le long de vieilles clôtures de pierres celtiques couvertes de mousse verte. Un voyage dans le temps. Très peu de route asphaltée comme cela arrive certains jours et comme cela sera âprement demain. La forme est bonne. Le sac de moins en moins lourd même si je transporte un peu de bouffe chaque pour la pause du midi. Mon espagnol s'améliore chaque jour grâce à mon compagnon de route qui a beaucoup de patience avec moi tout au long de nos longues discussions très intéressantes. J'adore le Camino! Chantal PS Chaque jour, mon cousin Terry me dit :" Short, short! " pendant qu'il attend que je termine mon texte pour envoyer son blog. Je sens beaucoup de pression de sa part ! Lol
