Todays Selfie:

Morning selfie in the moonlight (kind of).

I left really early today since it was an 18 mile day. The sun was still sleeping but the moon lit the way for me. It was a gorgeous morning. The birds were singing and the chill in the air was the perfect temperature.

The sun came up and the fog settled in.
I love this picture! You’ve got the Camino arrows telling you which way to go, the beautiful church and at the bottom right you can see the road with the columbarium on the side which is the wall that holds the ashes of dead people. You can just wave to Grandma when you are driving by!
The path was beautiful today with a canopy of trees overhead most of the way.
So many pilgrim statues.
I am not sure what is supposed to be stored in here but it looked pretty impressive.
The even have modern technology in Spain. This building felt like it was out of a futuristic film.
The bee man!
Mid day snack! Orange juice and churros with chocolate.
Finally some decent bathroom signs.
This was so special. We crossed over this bridge and there was a lady giving waters and snacks for a donation. She was lovely and it’s always nice to be surprised in the middle of nowhere with a kind gesture!
The perfect picture…a fountain, the cross, the church and the old men chatting.
I decided I needed a break and I put my feet in the freezing water of a stream on the side of the path It helped them so much! I was able to get 2 miles out of them without any pain afterwards.
Views of the path.
Once I got to Aruza, I stopped at a vending machine to get a snack and was shocked when I looked at the top shelf. Who would consider buying a vibrator from a vending machine? I wonder if they sell many.
So many pilgrim statues…I stayed at A Casa do Lajueiro in a private room. It was clean and quiet and exactly what I needed for the night.

I met up with Savina to have dinner together, bought some ice cream from the store and then ended early!
