Hey!hey!hey! We’re here about to hit the trail! 😮😀. We’ve fattened up with a big breakfast a ready to rock!!

ok, we hit the trail this morning about 9:30am local time. The weather is Awesome, upper 50s to start the day and the high was 70!! Partly cloudy with only one minute or two of rain!! Just long enough for us to break out rain gear, walk a half mile then put it back up!!🤪

There were apple and pear trees all along the trail as well as wild blackberries, umm umm good!

We had lunch at a nice little place on the trail and after 30 minutes or so hit the trail again headed to Portomarin.

You’ll see a pumpkin patch and then a vegetable garden that was part of the restaurant we ain’t dinner at!! Can’t get any fresher than this.

Portomarin is a quaint little place that was moved up from the river in the 1960s when the reservoir was built. The photos and videos are just some of today’s encounters.

I'm posting tonight without videos as I can’t seem to get them added. Will sad them asap it’s bedtime! 😀

Made it to Madrid and more!

Got here at 9:20 in the morning and to hotel about 11 or so and started our day. We were staying right in Midtown Madrid walked everywhere and visited the Royal palace of Madrid. 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. ...
