Negreira to Santa Marina 20 kilometers

So we awoke and checked the weather radar and it wasn't looking good on the rain front.  But we packed and headed to a cafe that we went to two years ago.  Same guy running the place. Our new young friend Klaus came walking by on his way back to Santiago so we were able to bid him Bon Voyage. We thought we might wait out the rain but after coffee we hit the Camino.  The recent deluge has many paths muddy but the flip side is some trails have had a lot of work done to make them nice. As usual, we caught up with Anna and Chloe and walked with them briefly.  Our memories of this section of the trail are a bit fuzzy but we finally made it to familiar territory.  We had some drizzle off and on but no serious rain. Made it to the albergue that Joan had scoped out.  No washing of clothes as our wash from the previous day was still wet (we're a bit soggy overall). Decided to have a pilgrims dinner.  The girls showed up and joined us for our meal.  Then, we had a bit of Camino magic.  A woman, Catarina, we had walked with a bit two years ago comes through the door.  This absolutely floored us (and even our new friends).  That's twice so far that we have seen someone from two years ago.  So crazy.  The short days we have planned are allowing us some much needed rest.  This place has wifi so we are using it to plan the remainder of our stay in Spain.
