We climbed up and over the mountain this morning- a steep 5k to start the day- cold but clear- beautiful sunrise and wonderful views into the valleys from the top. With Santiago only 6 days away the trails are getting busier- bus loads of day packers are "released" at different towns and you can come around a bend and suddenly run into a jam. It really bothers some but it is part of this part of the Camino- it will be increasingly busier as we approach Santiago- to get your compostella you need only complete the last 100k- the quiet days of solitude on the Meseta and in the mountains are behind us.

We crossed into Galicia this morning- unfortunately Spain has a problem with graffiti on almost everything- only the churches seem to escape it
This beautiful little church in Hospital de la Condesa - Iglesia St Juan- has lavender heather growing on the tower- beautiful in the morning sunshine

Well guys I'm still with you but a little silent. I've got myself busy and the day just escaped. I always tried to get into your site and see the pictures and read the captions. I love you both. Mom
