    Favorite Pictures of Animals on your Camino

    I met lots of dogs, horses and cows, not to mention bugs of all shapes and sizes. The kitty sat with me while I did laundry in Granon and was rewarded with lots of pats. The sculpture in Valtuille de Arriba on the way into Villafranca de Bierzo. It caught my eye for it's whimsy.
