We are in the O Durmiento Albergue in a room for the four of us...two bunk beds...seems fine for 10€ each. Sarria is just over 100 kms from Santiago de Compostela and my understanding is that a high number of pilgrims start from Sarria as this will ensure they receive a Compostela.
No Canadian lapel pins given today...a first I think over my long walk.
On a sad note my George Clooney sunglasses are gone...quite upset at having left them wherever...also missing a sock. You may think it would be so easy to keep track of so few possessions yet all the packing and unpacking is a real challenge!
Last night the four of us had a fun supper...Portuguese, French and English to get ourselves understood. The Hostal owner was quite a crusty interesting guy...

| Overflowing vegetable soup |
 |
| Pork chop, fried egg and guess what...French fries! Was tasty! |
 |
| Santiago pie |
When we started this morning is was 4C or so...with the wind it was freezing...with the fog added in yikes!
 |
| Really chilly start! |
 |
| This gives a good idea of start weather conditions! |
Within a hour or more the fog lifted and I could start feeling my fingers again...some of the pictures I took while sleepwalking through the day...

| Cyrille and Paulo |

| 119 Kms to Santiago de Compostela |
Three and a half days to Santiago de Compostela, a rest and then 3 days to Finisterre. I am very much going to miss friends such as Paulo and now Cyrille however am looking forward to going home soon!
I can't believe you could sleep walk through such beautiful country but obviously your deep thoughts were rewarded with a miracle. Enjoy your last few days. Hugs
