Buenos Tardes! Much better day today, cloudy but a clear view. Steep descend with short, but extremely steep inclines. The way leads through several farming villages and we encountered many “pets”. We pass many dogs big and small…the big ones do look scary….are no problem so far.
We had dinner with Mike and Cindy, an American couple from Olympia, WA…very nice, we meet them often on the trail as well as another Mike from LA and Kevin ( orig. from Buffalo) and Serena living in San Francisco. There are many more Americans now then in June as well as British, Irish, Belgian, Korean, and bikers from Italy. All in all a nice group again and we see each other again and again on the trail, at rest stops and at night at the Albergue. Knees and feet are still doing good and no new bug bites for Charlie 🙂

did you notice that the one picture of the trail lined with trees (second to last pic) the tree on the left side looks like a person?….at least with my imagination 🙂
good to read that the bugs are no longer biting Charlie 🙂

I had not noticed, you are right. I can see it now. They are chestnuts, I wish I could share the smell of these woods also. I’m just so happy we came back to finish this now. Thanks for your comments, I love getting them 🙂
