We survived our longest abd toughest day, covering over 15 miles. We're in a beautiful rural hotel, and we celebrated Mass on the Feast of St. Matthew outdoors. The intentions are being carried every day, and we're praying for our beloved parish family! We're meeting fellow pilgrims all along the way. There is wonderful comraderie among all those walking.

Beautiful day today walking the Spanish countryside in Galicia, much of which is farmland. The whole day was full of surprises. We met so many pilgrims, all of whom are very friendly. There is a strong sense of community among the peregrinos, our fellow pilgrims. We covered 13.6 miles today and celebrated Mass overlooking a river valley. Dinner included scallops, octopus, and Galician beef.

We arrived safely in Sarria, ready to start walking tomorrow! Right next door to the hotel is an old chapel/hospital that was used to treat lepers. We celebrated Mass in front of the chapel, ate a huge meal and hit the hay. All of the intentions of the parish are traveling with us every mile.
