Another absolutely perfect morning, as we all began our hike early today. More up and down hills and winding paths through beautiful forests. And, there continues to be a growing number of people on the Camino as we near Santiago. You can tell that there is a minimum of two stamps per day required for the last 100k – as we saw people/ places everywhere along the way in position to add this to your credentials. Fifteen miles and 6.5 hours later we arrived in O Pedrouzo. I want to thank Steve and Vickie Mitchener for hosting a wonderful dinner tonight with a dozen or so pilgrims we have met over the past few weeks. The night was very special as everyone shared their motivation and Camino experience.
We are now ONLY 12 MILES to Santiago, and like most pilgrims we plan to get a very early start tomorrow morning. We have been told by friends that have finished a day or two ahead of us, that the lines to review pilgrim’s credentials, validate their trip, and receive their Compostela is running from 2 1/2 to 3 hours! Hopefully, if we arrive early enough we will not have to wait as long! We will see.
Buen Camino!
