Today did not start out sunny & dry! Liz & I started out around 8:30 & the drizzle became a drench. Liz turned back as her waterproof jacket was quickly soaked through!! She caught a ride with the van that picked up our packs. She has a bad cough so was a good decision. It rained until early afternoon when sun came out - I was dry upon arrival at Albergue Peltrie in Sarria. I missed a turn so walked a bit further than need be but fortunately figured it out in time to make connection with path again. It did feel as if I was the only human in the universe for quite some time - finally two CA ladies came up behind me while I was having a rest during one dry spell. Their bright ponchos were a welcome sight for awhile and then others also appeared and then our path made connection with the other option so there was just about a traffic jam!!! My knee is hurting - have 13 km on tomorrow's agenda. Will see...

My mascot! There were many in the bus stop where I stopped to check map to get back on right trail!

Finally a yellow arrow to reassure me that I am on the El Camino!

The horse riders went the same way I did!

  1. You are indomitable!!! Be wise about your knee. You had such a triumphant trek in the rain this time - there is no shame in taking care of yourself (I know you know that).

    Enjoy!
