This will be a very short post this evening. Nancy, Andrea, Heike and I are exhausted. We woke up this morning in Palas de Rei tired. None of us slept well. I’m developing a distinctive limp normally associated with members of the geriatric club. Heike’s feet ache all day, Nancy starts wearing out at about the 20 kilometer mark and Andrea’s youth is really paying off. She seems the most resilient of all of us.

We made it to a very rustic rural house called la Casa Milia this afternoon after walking in an hour and a half steady rain. I took a few pictures today. The Casa Milia is a fine place to stay. The rooms are large and immaculately clean with a distinctive rustic Spanish decor.  Maria who owns and operates this gray place also does the cooking. The food is home cooked and delicious. I highly recommend coming here.

I’ll post a few pictures. We’ve only got 43 kilometers to Santiago!

Buen Camino
