Day 12- Friday, October 23
From Portomarin / Albergue El Caminante we walked 17.2 kms. to Airexe / Pensione Eirexe – 73km from Santiago. Many of the stamps are now recording how far from Santiago we are, so I thought I would too.

Potomarin was next to a deep river valley which meant we had a steep climb when we left in the morning – one of many up and downs this day – great opportunities to live into present.

Day 13- Saturday, October 24
At Airexe / Pensione Eirexe – (73km) we woke up to rain and walked to Palas de Rei (69) in light drizzle. Getting wet -especially our shoes which take long to dry – is no fun so we got a ride in an Audi to Melide / Hotel Carlos 96 (55). We wandered Melide and sampled some local delicacies – octopus & pigs ears (been there, done that & won’t do it again). We returned to the hotel where Linda exchanged feet stories with other pilgrims, a common conversation starter on the Camino.

Day 14 – Sunday, October 25
From Melide / Hotel Carlos 96 we walked 17 kms. to Arzua (41) and then were picked up and taken to Assumpta Tourism Rural, a few kilometers out of town, where we spent the night.
