Great day on the Camino... We walked with the cows

Walked 20.4 km today. From Herrerías to Fonfría, up 3000' elevation gain, into Galicia, through beautiful villages, and at one point with the cows! I would say the grass was greener on the Camino but it was really green everywhere else. This was one of the prettiest hikes yet.
Here's an idea of what the day looked like a few days back...

We've hit the 100 mile mark!!

...meaning...we now have less than 100 miles to go! Our feet can't wait. We stopped outside Herrerías yesterday and found the greatest place ever, on a river, trees, mountains, cows... Beautiful place... Oh gotta run, looks like rain today and we have to climb a big big hill.

Rabanal

21.4 km today into Rabanal... On our way over the pass of Irago tomorrow, the highest point on the trip (big mountain!). We walked with Ray and Patricia from L.A., and Ib from Denmark. All great people! Dewey has met his match with Ib... Ib can out walk and out talk him.










Here's the 5 of us at the Cowboy Bar today...

Astorga yesterday, Rabanal del Camino today

Had a nice short walk into Astorga yesterday (14.1 km). Saw the Gaudí building "Palacio Episcopal", the Bishops Palace. Very nice! Was a beautiful day...






In Astorga we were lucky to catch a flamenco dance by a group of local ladies....






Ok so they weren't a professional group but fun just the same.
This is the church in Astorga.

Maybe a bike........

Walking into Leon was tough. The damn Roman road with cobble stones beat our feet up. Once in Leon we went to El Cortez Ingles and looked around and to a bike shop near our hotel. I found one I could like....








I bet we can everything we need in the 'boot'. And compared to new feet this is cheap.

Found a great Albergue after a 17.1 Km walk

Had a nice walk from Vilar de Mazarife to Villarejo de Órbigo today. Sunny and bright and FLAT! My kind of walking. Dewey has been searching out fried eggs and bacon for a couple of weeks now and we found them today. We also found a great (and the only Albergue) in the same spot. It's very nice, clean, and full of character. Now this is living!
