It was a rainy day today. We waited out the heavy stuff and left at 8am. It rained on an off for the rest of the day. There was only one sudden downpour, but providentially we were right next to shelter (in the middle of nowhere) when that happened. Thank You, Jesus!
You can see the rain line!
Beautiful magical tunnels through the woods today:
Oh, and AN OSTRICH!!
Annnnnd today we passed the 100km mark!! Only 4 days and less 92km left until we reach Santiago!! Woah.
Tonight, we arrived in a town of 900 called Porto Marín.
The town used to be in a valley, but at some point, they moved it up. A few 13th century buildings from the original town, including the church, were moved up stone by stone. The stones were numbered to simplify reassembly. Amazing!
At Mass, we found Roy, Silvia, and Gille. I was SO happy to see them. Afterwards, I told them my toe story over coffee and chocolate. We chatted about how the Camino crowd has changed over the past two weeks--there are a LOT more people, more big groups, and seemingly less of them who are here to live a pilgrimage and more who are just on vacation , or a week of hiking, or to get the certificate. I am grateful for the time we had before; I think it helped is prepare to live this last week in the same pilgrim way, despite the different atmosphere. Yay for pilgrim formation, and thank God for our little pilgrim family reunion :)
