Day 2. 15.5 miles rainy day!

Friday was another good day but really tiring. 15.5 miles and nearly constant uphill but fortunately not steep, for first 8 miles before flattening out some. The terrain today was mostly street trails or trail right along side of the road which were wide and well maintained. We walked mostly through beautiful farmland with lots of opportunities to pick blackberries which lined large sections of the trail. Many sections of road were tree lined and completely covered. This is wine country also and yes we picked a grape or two that were hanging over the fences 🙂

Our lodging today is a quaint farm home that is quite unique. Our meal this evening consisted of Piquillo (red peppers, not hot) stuffed with hake (fish) and baby prawns in a great semi-tart sauce ooh so good, a main course of beef pot roast smothered in gravy and cream potatoes with carrots, and then finished off with a small slice of bread pudding and a scoop of chocolate ice cream!

the cow video was from our first day on the trail.

That was quite interesting and we ate dinner at a nice restaurant right outside the door of our hotel. I feel quite safe in this city while we were walking around so very few homeless but did see some. This morning, I was able to visit the a la cathedral de Santa Maria. Oh my gosh, what a beauty I spent about 30 or 40 minutes in the cathedral and it just took my breath away. I’ll share a few pictures. I got lost trying to find my way back to our hotel or somewhat lost not bad but ended up getting back to the hotel a little late and we managed to missed our train to Sarria so we’re sitting at the train station waiting for the next train which is at 5 o’clock tonight. ...
