Overcast, chilly, and rainy! So far, we haven't hit great weather here in Portugal. Still, it's been warm enough to walk in a short sleeved shirt even in the light rain. Today's 23 km hike took us from Barcelos to the Casa de Fernanda where we had planned to spend the night. It was also a day where throughout the Portuguese countryside we got to see numerous examples of animals enjoying themselves.
I think that these two were supposed to be guard dogs, but they weren't too ferocious!
Along The Way, one of our simple pleasures has been the excellent Portuguese cafe con leche. Such a perfect cup of coffee for just 1€.
Barcelos turned out to be a wonderful mid-size town where once again we had great accommodations at the Barcelo Way Guesthouse and enjoyed an tasty and inexpensive Pilgrim's Meal.
Of course, Nancy has enjoyed the photo ops as well as the many small churches in the towns we've passed through. Even with a bit of a bum knee today, she still walked 14.3 miles to get to the Casa de Fernanda where we look forward to another great meal with fellow pilgrims and a good night's sleep.
Great job Mom (and Bill). I'm enjoying the pictures
