Another Day in a Pilgrim's Life

Our day started earlier than normal due to the monastery requiring us to leave by 7:30 (normally 8:00 at most albergues). The camino took us through some beautiful rolling hills and lush farmland with plenty of corn and cattle (Joan has dubbed the cow pies "vaca tartes"). We met with several of the folks we have gotten to know here. We are now in the part of the country that is known as Galicia which is known for it's lush land and Celtic background. But we find it looks a lot like the Blue Ridge Mountains. We concluded our trek today in a town called Barbadelo at a place called Casa de Carmen. It's high on a hill with great views and is very quiet here. Catching up on our rest and will hit the trail again in the morning.
