Yes that’s right, last night we stayed in the tiny town of Poo, just outside of Llanes, Spain. While Caleb can’t wait to share this fact with all his friends, the pronunciation we are told is actually closer to “Poe” as in Edgar Allan. Still an unfortunate name.
I believe we are at about our halfway point with 412 km (256 miles) behind us. At our present rate that will put us in Compostela on July 12, which is fine, but we’re kind of hoping to arrive July 10, making a 40-day pilgrimage. We’ll see.

Here’s some photos to enjoy since my last post.
Low tide at San Vicente. Notice the bridge in the background with all the arches. The present bridge dates back 250 years, and at the time was the longest in the region.
Shots from the inside of the cathedral in San Vicente. Notice the wood floor that is several hundred years old.
Rush hour traffic on the Camino.

The blue line is truly remarkable now. Can’t imagine walking all day every day as you are doing…but the pictures help!
It may not feel this way, but you are amazing pilgrims indeed. Hope you are overcoming sore feet and sickness and without losing heart and hope.
You are a true encourager, Bob! Thanks!
