18 miles, 250′ elevation
Ribadesella to Colunga. Legs are showing signs of wear. Mostly paved coastal paths today all the way to Dinosaur Park footprints state park. How do they know these markings are 15,000 to 20,000 years old? Can they be left in the stone these many years later without washing away? Llastres is the next stop. I’m growing use to the beautiful beaches.
Last night I dined with an old group of peregrino friends: Brian,Mimi,Frederique & Cristina. Our waiter, Mateo, overheard that I do not have a Santiago de Compostella conch shell that I. Walk with, so as a surprise, he cleaned one and presented it to me as dinner ended. I have been met with kindness and generosity wherever I have been.

You’ve got a rest day coming up, 3 more days… Don’t forget to include some pics of the people you’re meeting. : ) I wish I was walking along the ocean right now…but not for 500 miles.

Hey, Michael:
In honor of your pilgrimage, I’m sipping a nice glass of Tempranillo as I read today’s blog. Remember Adam’s peak? That was probably child’s play compared to some of the days you’ve had on this trip! Though we were a little younger, then. It’s great to hear how things are going and to see the pics.
God bless,
JP
