A Susana 20 June 2024

 Today was our last long walk at 14.5 miles. A lot of elevation loss then gain as we went down the Rio Ulla valley to cross the river and up the other side. We are along the N 525 highway in a nice Albergue tonight and with a short 6 mile, 2 hour walk tomorrow to our final goal of the pilgrimage end at the cathedral in Santiago.

How old is this tree

Interesting pilgrim mementos left at this area de descanso (rest area)

Henry found a friendly cat

Ferns for the fern fans

Ancient bridge over the Rio Ulla. In the background is the AVE (Alta Velocidad España) high speed rail. Why can Spain connect the whole country and the USA can't complete a single line?

Henry is enjoying watching the European Cup soccer games. This one is the Slovenia-Serbia game. Go Slovenia!
