Arzura to O'Pedrouzo

The one unfortunate part of walking the Camino is that all the days feel like one long day.  Our routines are fairly set so the biggest thing is spending time with the amazing people we walk the Camino with, the views, Spanish culture, and trails.  The memories all kind of blend together in one long great memory so when we don't write a blog the day it happens it gets difficult remembering exact things specific to the day.

Fortunately we did encounter something that stands out two days later.  Our walk today was amazing as always.  The trail was great and we leave so early that it doesn't seem like we are stuck in large crowds.  We did do something different.  Having reserved a place to stay the night before we really wanted to trust that the Camino would provide.

This trust thrusted us into a position that we never thought possible on the Camino.  We got to town fairly early, around 11ish and walked immediately to the municipal albergue.  We figured we would be early, as we turned the corner there were already 90 people waiting in line for the albergue and it didn't even open for another 2 hours!

We waited in line and were able to say hi to many of our Camino family as they got to town.  The place was just so so but we again realized it was the people we were with that made everything what it was and we loved our company. Brian, James, Amy, Dan, Ryan, Jen, Kate, Melissa, and Jennifer.  We couldn't ask for a better group and were thankful we found each other.
