(Distance: 25 kms Time: 7 hours)
The Day: Today was a pleasant surprise. Somehow we managed to stay between the waves of pilgrims and were left pretty much alone on the trail. It was a beautiful day, about 78 degrees, sun was shinning and we walked along mostly natural trails with lots of shade and a gentle breeze blowing. It doesn't get much better than that. If we can escape the tourist pilgrims one more day we will be home free in Santiago.

The People: Christian and Josie remain a part of our day as well as our numerous daily encounters with Cherry. We met some new people at dinner, a couple from UK and then a mother / daughter combo from Belgium. Lots of people around us ... all with their eyes on Santiago. We are getting emails from Mike (from Canada) and Jee Young (from Korea) but both seem on different paths than us and we may not ever connect with them again on this Camino ... we are hoping somehow we do as they have become very special people in our lives.
