We are now in Palas de REI

We are now in Palas de Rei, getting ready for an early leavetaking of 9:30 am. Our first day from Sarria to Portomarín (about 24 km) left us pretty exhausted….but it was a beautiful trail and a gorgeous day. It has cooled off considerably since our first start 2 weeks ago.
Today will be a short day of 15 km. So hopefully we’ll post more tonight.

The road is the goal

On our first day back, we walked from Sarria to Portomarin. 8 hours and 14 miles!

(“the road is the goal” was in quotes – i’m guessing this is something people say a lot on the camino)

Trouble

Billy the kid.

(all these latest posts are from Sam but I’m posting them so I get to put my ahem, personality on them – this goat looks like real trouble to me)

A little bitey

Mom and a horse friend. (He was a little bitey.)

(Still from Sam – and I give props to the Shawn of the Dead reference, even if he didn’t realize he had made one)

Galicia

The trail in Galicia goes through the forest much of the time. Its much greener and cooler here.
