LTfit,
Zamora to Santiago through Ourense was heavenly. It must have been 14 days, but with the sun and mountains it went by so fast...! You will be blessed.
Tomorrow I am riding my Koga Miyata World Traveller (the best trekking bike and from the Netherlands) along an old railway grade to see for the first time a trestle that has been restored for bicycles. I am feeling energetic. Good memories of adventures make me bouyant and want more.
Granon was an adventure. I was shocked the first time I saw the cook put three kilos of noodles in one big pot. But she knew what she was doing... and I learned. No matter how many for dinner, you rise to the occasion, God blesses it. The next best meal on the Camino was the garlic soup at San Juan de Ortega when the old priest was alive. Then there is dinner with the poor Brothers at Alcuescar on the VdlP...
Enjoy the Camino Sanabres,
David, Victoria, Canada
