Saturday, October 22 - Day 33

Well, finally, a working computer - albeit with no SD drive again, so no pictures.  We´ve been back in the mountains for days and mostly in small towns where both internet and telephone service are either non-existent or out-of-order.

But the great news is that the pilgimage is going very well.  We´re into Galicia now.  The countryside is beautiful - lots of up and down through green mountains. The weather continues to be great, with sunshine every day, but accompanied by a cool breeze.  Days are getting shorter but its still like early September in Ontario.  Trees are green and gold, and the sky is clear and blue.

Our new friend Penny from Australia has been walking with us for a couple of weeks, and other folks we´ve come to know along the way re-appear daily, so the companionship has been wonderful.

Our legs are strong and we´re quite easily covering the required twenty kilometers per day. Looks like we´re only six or so days from Santiago now and the end of our walk.  This gives rise to very mixed feelings - excitement about the thought of reaching our goal, sadness because our walk will soon be over, and looking forward to seeing everyone at home again.

But for now, its time to pack up and get into the sack, so we´re ready to go in the morning.
