Under

Walked out under cloudy skies this morning, but the rain held off.  Walked under these yummy grapes.  On the way to O Pedrouzo today, I also enjoyed walking under a couple of these lovely canopies.  

Arzua

Walked the rolling hills for 15km to Arzua today.  Delightful!

Melide

Over two medieval bridges and gently walking the 15km to Melide has us in town for lunch.  Looking forward to a proper siesta this afternoon. 

Castro

We had a lovely 25km saunter today to Palas de Rei.  Cooler today, with overcast skies in the morning and sun in the afternoon.   Took a short detour to visit a Celtic castro that is being excavated by a Galician archeological team.  Then continued on down the Way.

Portomarin

A beautiful day for the 22km Walk to Portomarin.  Cool this morning, but warming into the 80s this afternoon. Nice rolling countryside, then over the bridge and up the stairs to town.  The lake here is really low, just down to the original river.

Sarria

A gentle walk of 15km from Samos to Sarria.  Overcast skies kept the temperature cool.  A lovely first day walking along the river Sarria.  

Samos

We are taking a rest day in Samos today.  So i took the tour of the Benedictine monastery here.  The little chapel has a 1000 year old cypress tree beside it.  It's lovely to have a chance to pray and soak in some peace before the Walk begins.
