Triacastela to Sarria

This morning began with a peaceful fog.  We spent most of the morning in cool mountain air walking along nice trails.  We made a pitstop for ugh café and found a place that made fresh tortilla.  Yum!!!  Afted Carson and I made it for dinner last night we decided we are missing something.   To be determined after a few more authentic tortillas... The town we stopped in had cows going for a walk.  One of the coolest yet grossest things about Galica is the cow poo everywhere.  There seems to be a commonality of washing it down the trail and we are so lucky to get to walk through their daily disposing.  Eww.

Today we took a short day of only 11.5 miles.  This quickly  heightened our spirits and helped us see some extra Spanish culture.  We stayed in Sarria, the town of 100k before Santiago, where loads of people will be droning into the end.  There is an expectation to finish the camino officially, you must walk the last 100.

We treated ourselves to Italian pizza and sangria with Bryan from Brooklyn and crew.  It was expensive, but delicious.  It is nice to reconnect with great friends from before we started our pilgrimage to now.  We feel like we have grown together in this incredible experience.

Bedbugs gross me out.  There has been more talk of them as we get into bigger cities with more people.

100k mark on the trail comes tomorrow.  This means more and more people... church, school and tour groups trying to start before the official final leg to earn their pilgrims certificate.   We are always amazed by the people hiking the stages before us in France and the newbies on the trail.  There is such a variety of experiences on the camino.

Carson loves eating fruit.  One fun fact about today is he found an apple, pear, plum, grapes and cherries in about a 2 minute span.  None were quite ripe yet, or I may never get him out of Spain.  Such a fun way to snack along the way!!!!!!!
