Aretha and James

It's finally started to rain. A very misty rain, occasionally helped along with a wind. So for the first 8km I felt I needed a little help, so I had that funky lady, Aretha Franklin, shuffling along beside me and boy, the kms flew by. By the time I reached Trabadelo, I was ready for my tortilla and café, so stopped here. 

Matteus and Nick came in 10 minutes later and the three of us sat by the fire and rested. They left and I rested some more. I find if I can rest my legs for about an hour, every ten km, then I can carry on with good energy. 

Most of today has been on tarmac but it's quiet. 

When I took the next picture, I was dancing to James Taylor. Must have been quite the sight but I'm by myself so....

When I stopped for coffee I realized that I had left my pocket open and my maps were wet so I spread them out. I get all sorts of comments but many others refer to the maps. 

Andreu passed by my second stop so rested a bit and we walked the last 10km together to O'Cebreiro. We walked on mud but also had great views. 

We arrived at 5:30, checked the church to have our Credencial stamped and by the time we walked out of the church the fog had rolled in and the temperature had plummeted. We're now at the albergue, washed and in clean clothes. The dirty clothes are in the washer as there is actually a dryer here. Bonus!
