11.6 miles. A fairly short walk with some fabulous views once the sun appeared. Today I walked with Paul, from the UK, now living im France. We met about 4 days ago at the same inn, then ran into each other early this morning. It was wonderful to have a free ranging chat with a very interesting man. We are staying at the same hotel; tomorrow he moves on, while I have a day off and rest. We met for a late lunch; both of us were ready for a change from the traditional Menu del Dia, so ended up in a Kabob place for a fabulous, inexpensive, healthy meal. He went on to explore the town for a bit, while I found the supermarket for some yogurt and fresh fruit for tonight.
There should now be many more pilgrims. Sarria is the traditional starting point for those who want to walk the minimal distance and still earn the Compostela. This is now the home stretch. I have decided to take a little more time than the guidebook; I really don't want to walk 15+ miles a day anymore. About 75 miles to go!
