Oh how beautiful! (Day 3)

A really nice day today! Weather was excellent except for a moment long enough for us to get our rain gear on and then once again take it off in about a half mile!😀🤪

Today’s hike is sometime referred to as the “leg breaker” ( that’s encouraging,LOL) Well, no legs were broken but while it was a loooong hike it was probably the easiest yet! Rolling heals but no long or steep uphill climbs and the scenery was wonderful! Trees shaded us a good portion of the hike, like probably 80-90%of the way. Robert and I both commented that the hike seemed to go quicker that the previous two days. This 18 mile trek took us 8 hours and our feet keep reminding us about it! 😆

we had a truly delicious dinner tonight consisting of a unique tomato salad, croquets and for my main course I had beef cheeks stewed for 17 hours and then laid on a bed of sweet potatoes. Robert’s main course was an excellently prepared fish (hake) and chips. Sorry, no pictures :(

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. ...
