As I made my way out of S this crisp morning I stopped to listen to the monks chant the Hours. A bright, warm, no jacket required day set in by 10.
I bumped into a pilgrim from days 2-3 and walked with him for about 12km. He was nursing an injury so we went slowish and rested more than I usually do, which was welcome given my long (22.5 mile) hike. Def won’t hike another one that long unless necessary.
Otherwise it was a solitary stretch before the bustle of the big city tomorrow.
At dinner I met a new pilgrim. She spoke only Korean so we chatted through google translate which made for humorous, lost in translation, exchanges.
M is a great small town. My hostel overlooks the city park and so I got to enjoy the sight and sound of families making the most of a near-perfect evening.
My Camino is more than halfway done. Hard to believe I’m here already.
A great forecast awaits tomorrow’s shortish walk to León.
