Wednesday, 3.Nov. Olveiroa to Cee, 12 miles

We turned out to be very lucky. We assumed full rain and dressed accordingly. Here’s the bridge onto the trail.

Here’s me walking in the rain:

I thought Rick was just taking a photo. That floppy hat under my raincoat hood is Rick’s. Thank goodness he threw it into his pack. Sadly, yesterday I discovered that I’d lost my best hat ever that protected me from sun and rain throughout the trip. Well, hopefully someone else is really happy with their new hat!

Then the rain lightened up and rainbows started showing up. There was a double rainbow, but didn’t show up in the photo.

But mostly – it wasn’t raining! Instead it was serene, green and beautiful. We both had a wonderful walk. I was dawdling again with photos, rocks, etc. so we mostly walked separately and dreamed our way through the day. Here are a few shots over the day:

The cows are faint, but they were so relaxed. I ended up taking a video for myself to remember what it’s like to have a quiet mind on a perfect day. They were very very slowly moving to the right, eating grass, moseying along.

This is us when we saw the ocean. We actually weren’t sure, another cloud bank? Hills? Then Rick saw a very large boat – yep the ocean. I can’t even imagine what it would have been like for a pilgrim who’d never seen the ocean and had walked for so many miles. 

Tomorrow we’ll be at Fisterra.
