Hola from the Camino i am in a great alburgue in Sarria once again 

via Camino travel agent Gerri. This place is gorgeuous stone and 

tile and sky lights and very old. It rained most of today so this 

is my first wet walking day. In the past the rain was intermittent 

or misty and then cleared. welcome to lovely green and wet Galicia. 

At one point you just say I'm wet and I can't get wetter  so why 

not stop and take that photo?   And I did because it was like i was 

walking down a hobbit tunnel of green moss and gnarly trees with 

white  crystal rocks everywhere.  Definitely a high energy place. 

Right now I would pay money to sit in front of a fireplace. It is 

damp and cold and still raining but all in all this has been an 

amazing Camino weather wise.  The last 2 days were so beautiful 

that a little rain is to be expected.  I had a great dinner 

last evening with Kim from Texas and then Theresa from Colorado 

joined us and we almost closed the place. In fact we were the 

last pilgrims in the place at 10. Waaaay late for us pilgrims. 

There was a large  table of local folks having a late  dinner 

and they wanted to know where we were from which led to lots of 

bantering and gesturing until we took leave after 10. I didn't 

think our alburgue closed the door at any particular time  but 

most  do have a curfew and a lights out time at night as well 

as a lights on time in the morning. Luckily I did not get locked 

out for being such a wild woman:). Tomorrow I will walk to 

Portomarin around 25 K. If I continue following the guide book 

I should arrive in Santiago by Friday or Saturday. Wow. Hard to 

believe.  This is an old Celtic medieval town I would like to 

explore a bit before dinner if it isn't still raining.  Drink a 

hot cup of tea for me and know you are loved. 

Camille on and in the Camino. Embrace the day. All of it :)
