Porto Marin to Palas de Rei

Today was really tough terrain. Hills. Hills. and more Hills.  16.5 miles of hills. Honestly, it was tough at first but got better after the 10th or so mile. Megan has two very small blisters, but blisters still the same. We are taping our feet and really trying to avoid any further problems.  So many pilgrims we met today from all over the world. Everyone is always so helpful to each other as we are all headed toward the same goal. There is a quiet spirituality on the paths that I really cannot explain. We passed numerous villages that were built in the 700 to 800 A.D. time frame. It's just impossible to imagine this in America as we are so young. Even with the first part of the day as we battled of rain, it was still an enjoyable experience. Tomorrow is the big day with 18 miles on our plate. Hopefully, we can conquer that part of the trek.
