Two similar days

We seem to have settled into a pilgrim rhythm. We remembered to say prayers this morning even in the sterile common room of the modern albergue at Portomarin. Last night we met two new pilgrims from Ireland who had just finished their first day. It was nice to feel like veterans.

The landscape has been neither as ugly as outside Leon nor as stunning as the last post. It is rural and ancient feeling and then congested and modern by turns. The way is much more crowded now, and while we are seeing many familiar faces from the previous week we are now joined by many who are on an even shorter pilgrimage than we are. We are only three days out from Campostela and plan to continue on to the ocean.
