We enjoyed a decent night's sleep for a change. Fairly early start. It was a very challenging day. The climbs are very steep and so are the descents. Not many places to stop but when there were, we stopped. Basically, it was like a pub crawl. Had coffee instead of beer. Had ice cream bars when the day got hot. Because of the holiday (unexpected) yesterday, we had few provisions for food so it was another survival day. And, as usual, we survived. Arrived in town and was greeted by Consuelo, a woman who spoke more French than Spanish. Had a lovely conversation with her as we tried our best to translate (think we did a pretty good job!). The 82 year old was so gracious. For me (Ed), our interaction with her turned a tough, frustrating day into a blessing. Got our resting spot for the night and then found a grocery store where we replenished our stores and our stomachs. Long day planned for tomorrow. 30 kilometers into the walled city of Lugo and it will be day 28 on the Camino for us.
