O Pedrouzo

We have slowly come over 13 miles today and arrived here in O Pedrouzo about 4 pm. Fr Paul's shin is still stiff and tender so he still has to take it easy. But we have only 12.5 miles to go to Santiago!!
We got away late this morning as there was a little raining going on, and about the time we really got going it was raining pretty hard. It continued that way into the next town where we happened to see the door of the church open. We, of course, went in and Mass was going on, so we stayed and received Holy Communion. And when we came out, the rain had practically stopped. So the day continued to improve until we were walking in sunshine and it became a delightful day. The path was generally level and we made good time for two guys with aching leg and feet.
So we are again dry, clean and rested. We have to figure out how and when we a can finish these last 12.5 miles and when we want to arrive in Santiago. We know we cannot make these last miles by the noon pilgrim's Mass, and tomorrow is the feast of St Peter and Paul. It should be a great celebration, and we had hoped to be there. So we'll see.
