39 km to Santiago de Compostela
We were going to walk 15 km and overachieved and went all the way to 20 km. We are now at a point were we could be in Santiago tomorrow evening.
Somehow we are not as tired as yesterday. The Camino is really busy now. It is like walking in a crowd sometimes. Lots of teens in school groups. Today we were talking to a group of girls from Madrid that are in the school of nursing. We also met Marieta, she was at the bar where I got first aid the day of the fall. She seemed truly happy to see me on my feet. She is walking with her 11 year old son. Very nice lady. Not much more to say except that we were busy walking and walking.
We arrived to O Pedrouzo around 3 pm and found a hostel. The restaurant in town does not serve supper until 8 pm so we went to the supermarket, got a big can of fabada (a soup of white beans with bacon and chorizo chunks), bread, ham, and strawberries and that was our dinner. We are going to try to get up early to see if we can make it to Santiago tomorrow. The forecast is for rain all day so if we are getting too wet we may stop early.
The end of the journey is near. I think we are ready to finish and excited at spending Easter in Santiago, watching the parades of the Cofradias and attending Easter services at the cathedral. I think we are going to miss walking every day.
Jesus, help us get closer to you in these painful days and to celebrate your resurrection. Ten piedad de nosotros.
