Day 13 Negriera to Santa Marina

Breakfast, then on the road by 0800. Sunrise as we reached the church after
leaving the medieval arch at Negriera. Absolutely stunning light with
wonderful woodland trails. Wind turbines on the horizon. So many gifts
of nature. Spain has given the world an amazing gift of trails and accomodation.

I know that Canada has great hiking and trails, but accomodation for grateful Camino pilgrims does not exist as it does here in France and Spain.

Corn fields, eucalyptus groves, pine forest, crysthanthanums, roses. Saw an ewe, with twins. Passed a working bee, clearing our trails (THANK YOU!) - this one led into a corn field.

Green green grass to Vilaserio. Had lunch at a bus shelter in Cornado, out of the sun. 33 degrees - way too hot for walking on the long long stretches of asphalt; fields of corn and cows into Santa Marina.

The albergue is wonderful. Laundry is drying in the sunshine. I am sitting outside, sipping scotch. Ahhh...life is good.

We have a hotel reservation for Cee - 33kms - yike! Dinner basic, minimal value when compared to other pilgrim menus.
