[QUOTE="BobM, post: 93086, member: 1444"] Today I am in Caldas de Reis (24km). Wonderful walk on country paths, thru farmlands. Except: MORE RAIN!! There was one bright, beautiful moment of SUN. Hope sprang anew in the human breast that our trials might be over. But the rain came again, pretty much all day. Altho now it looks to be clearing up. Excellent waymarks, at least for those walking the CP the "right" way. I feel for those walking the CP in reverse. They must develop a permanent crick in the neck from looking round to see the arrows (or anchors, as Margaret called them very appropriately). Anyway, Caldas de Reis is one of the loveliest stops ever. Beautiful river with a boardwalk on the bank. Tree-covered cafes. And now, in spring, all nature is bursting forth. As I walked along the bank I was hit with strong smells of some small creamy-white flower on a bushy vine. Smells like [i]Daphne Odora[/i], but that grows on a shrub. On the walk I often met a couple, with the lady towing a small 2-wheel cart all the way from Oporto. One thing I have to mention is the kindness of Galicians. Invariably, when I have stopped to look for waymarks, someone has shown me the way unasked. On two occasions I have been accompanied in towns to be really sure I don't go astray. Maybe I look unusually incompetent that the locals are so alarmed for my well-being that they feel an obligation to help. In fact, when you observe Galicians closely "en famille" they are really kind to one another. Spring is a nice time to walk. Birds frantically singing for mates. All sorts of litlte creatures on the ground - slugs, snails, earthworms. No millipedes yet, or mice - too early in the season. Oh, about the Atlantic Ocean. It can stay there. It's the big low pressure system parked off Spain that is the problem. That's it. Tomorrow to Padron. Bob M [/QUOTE]
