Ribadiso

Today we managed to slowly complete 16 miles. So we are only 26.2 miles from Santiago, or two full days of walking. So we are getting there. Today was generally cool, so very nice for walking, though in the afternoon the sun did come out and it was mostly sunny for awhile. The path was generally level, though there were some 5 rivers to cross, which just meant that there was usually a steep descent to the river valley, followed by by a steep climb back up into the mountains. With Fr Paul's leg still stiff, we went very slowly, and took long breaks, and found several churches open that we stopped in to visit, so it took us almost 10 hours to cover those 16 miles arriving about 5pm here. So we have showered, done our washing, and had dinner, so we are ready for bed. I pray that God will bless you all tonight and always.
