Sarria to Portomarín- 23 km. it was a rainy day. The terrain was farmland with cow patches and a calf being born. Ron had the biggest bocadilla ( sandwich) big enough to feed a family of four. They met up with Jacques, from Québec and walked together for the next four days. They also met Harold, the German teacher hiking with a group of students. They passed the 98 km mark. Portomarín is on the very beautiful river Milo.

Saturday, from Portomarín to Palas del Rei- 26.1 km which included a lot of climbing. Another rainy day on the way. Again lots of farmland, very green pastures. Saw a lemon tree full of fruit. There was a cow cleaning a newborn. It is definitely springtime. The guys found a nice Albergue and joined up with a lot of Aussies. (Bruce, Isabel, Princess Fiona, Barry- silver Wombat, Ross and Maria). There was also Jacques and Brigit from Austria.
