To Silleda 27km Stage 30

October 13

We left the Albergue about 8:20am just as it was getting light. It is a later departure than our first week when we were starting our treks at 7:45 when the sun was rising. When the sky is clear it's the most beautiful start to the day. But not today! Today was a cloudy misty morning reminding me so much of BC's own west and wet coast. It was an okay morning trekking over hills looking onto the valleys below. We stopped at a bar/Cafe at noon that was toasty warm and enjoyed a great lunch. But about 3pm, as we arrived in Silleda, the heavy wind and rain started. I keep remembering the words of a Spanish peregrino, "this is the province of Galicia", just as we would say to  Vancouver tourists complaining about the rain, "this is British Columbia".
