literally hail...I walked from Fonfria this am in the icy fog, snow, sun, rain, hail and more rain. Quite the adventure. My walking partner took a day off and went to Sarria by taxi to wait for me. Unfortunately the albergue that I was headed for is closed at the moment but I found a nice room to myself rather than bunk in with the guys at the monestary. As I have been walking I compose my blogs...there was an excellent on on nature, specifically all the one time only sights I have seen like the wisteria on the museum in Ponferrade in full bloom like all the photos and the formal gardens in Vallafranca with the peonies blooming. The hills are purple with heather. But that blog didn´t get posted as there has been no internet in the mountains. Another topic was on the birds. Wow ...they sing all the time. Another on the people. My senses are on overload and I stop so often to take pictures of yet another beautiful scene. Just a few steps further and there is something else just as remarkable. I have made friends with many dogs along the way and the odd cat.
today I could probably figure out how to post photos but I am charging my reader in the USB port. You´ll just have to ask to see them.
Marusia the little hotel on the left just before Las Harrerias (sp) is the best so far. Pariso or something close to that name.
buen camino all...j
Hi June,
ReplyDeleteI look forward to seeing some of the pix you are taking, if not now on the blog at least later. I assume you took the full tour of the Monastery.
