Oct 1, 2016 Padron 18km
Since the town of Tui, mornings have been typical - 20-30 pilgrims leaving their accommodations around the same time and crowding the sidewalks and streets, but within a couple of hours the distance between walkers thins out. Some people walk at a faster pace and/or take fewer rest stops. But we often meet again in the supermarket or restaurant at the end of the day's trek. Today's trek continued along country and forest roads, with a few small hills and lots of food and refreshments stops. There was some danger in today's walk. We often have to cross busy highways, but today it was more challenging because of the fog. Very anxious time, running with backpacks on. Also during the Camino it is so nice to interact with locals. As we passed a rural house, the owner came running with a handful of grapes to give us. These acts of kindness are so touching.

Many beautiful flowers along the route.

It is is both a happy and sad time - so glad the daily treks come to an end, but sad we will not see our Camino friends again.
Saying goodbye to Fransesca...going back to school in a few weeks.
