An unusually hearty breakfast gave us the fuel to cover some ground today. As usual, we stopped in a couple of hamlets to fill our coffee tanks. The overcast skies finally gave way to rain. Fortunately, it was not a hard rain and we were able to don our rain gear and keep going. We landed in the town of Viana and logged in to a parroquial albergue with meager accomodations (we would be sleeping on mats on the floor). Our saving grace in this town were two places to hang out. The first was a restaurant/bar tucked away on a side street where we relaxed, ate, and used their WiFi. We then relaxed at a place called the Pilgrima Oasis that is run by some folks who were originally from the U.S. We drank tea and conversed with them for quite a while. The time spent just chilling in this town probably gave us more rest than sleeping on the Parrish floor.
