On the road, again...

Just Waylon, Ramon and the boys.....

¡Hola! We are signing on from a cibercafe in Palas de Rei (population 2000: Salute!) We have walked in this morning from Ventas de Naron, where we stayed in a Refugio and ate next door at the Restaurant Labrador. (No, that was not on the menu). We were the 3rd and 4th in the queue and met a very nice couple (Manuel and Reme) from Barcelona and were joined by a fellow from the previous two days walk, Ramon. Manuel speaks excellent English and Reme/Ramon a little less so, so dinner was in Spanglish for our benefit.

The walk this morning was good, with rolling hills up and down small river valleys. Wonderful countryside covered in farms and stands of Eucalyptus, which they grow and harvest here. We passed a ´village´ of one house today.

We have stopped here for the day, found a nice hotel (25€ per day!), washed our clothes, eaten lunch, and walked around a bit. We have even bumped into old friends....

Tomorrow we hope to move on to Melide. From there we have mostly smaller towns until Santiago, so we will try to check in tomorrow and then perhaps Santiago. The 27th is our target for arriving into Santiago.
