When you return to Santiago...
be sure to look for the pilgrim's shadow on the back side of the cathedral.

They wouldn't have been Quakers - aren't they all about quietude?

Salceda...
I stayed in this lovely albergue...so did the cast and crew of "The Way." Perhaps the owner will share some stories with you.

Luv ya work
Steve we have been following your progress, enjoying your blog. It is now part of the morning routine, perhaps you should consider some Bacchus Marsh trips to help all with withdrawal. It sounds as though it is busier than your previous walk. I guess that is 'progress'. Your pictures and commentary still paint an enticing adventure picture. Looking forward to catchup. Cheers John & Andrea

Looking Good
Hey Steve. Having a quite moment at work so I quickly catched up on your last couple of blogs. Everything is looking fantastic so far. Sorry to hear about the awful coffee, I'm sitting here enjoying a Gloria Jeans coffee. Loving all the photo's. Scenery looks amazing. Hope you enjoy your last couple of days on the walk. Ashlee.

Almost there
Not long now - keep those feet dry in rainy Galicia!

Ah, generous, green Galicia, natural paths and public albergues
Pretty amazing that the poorest province in Spain was also the most generous--witness the lady with the pancakes and "free" public, church-run albergues. Like you, I saw pilgrims with their Gore-tex, etc, who didn't always think to repay the kindness of strangers, but good for you. Paths on the earth, just like in the Medieval times--aren't they the best! And those albergues--it often seemed as if there was an orifice chorus, but we survived on the amazing Way. Buen Camino!

Albergues...
I guess I lucked out as all of the ones I stayed in were pretty nice...with shower doors and not too many in a room. Buen Camino!

Great Trip
Hi Steve, once again I have been enjoying your travels. I look forward to reading them each morning. I had a bit of an accident last Wednesday, faces and solid timber hall tables don't mix well. I'll tell you all about that when you return. Safe travels, bye for now. Take care.

Treats along the Way!
How fabulous that you got to visit the Templar's Castle! Must admit I'm a bit of a nut for them and have visited lots of their castles and sanctuaries. However, it's rather lucky that you didn't find a book in English--I carried far too many, which wasn't so wise. Interesting that there are many Koreans. There were few of them in 2003 when I walked, but there were tons of Brazilians due to a book on the Camino by Paulo Coelho. I love the stones you left at the Cruz de Ferro--may your hopes be realized. Buen Camino!

Thanks
I is such a pleasure to enjoy this journey from home. Photos and commentary are the highlight of they day! Thanks so much!! Jeannette
