Cheryl, Geoff, Brenda - Cheryl and Brenda are Alabama girls who suffered my consistent sterotyping of the rural South.
Brenda: Did you hear Huntsville (Alabama) was in the news today?
PC: What, another Klan rally?
Brenda: Just you huuuush!
Gerhard and Ulrihe-- finally people who appreciate Faure's Requiem.
One of the more colorful cafes (Brenda and Cheryl). The Cowboy Cafe makes me long for Texas
Pete and his hound Dexter - from Ireland. Pete funded his Pilgrimage by playing traditional Irish tunes on the fiddle.
Rural Spanish town "traffic jam" - sheep going for a haircut.
Another stretch of long road in Spain.
Above: More rugged scenery - we actually have to walk over this.
Right: Rita and Erik Ronning - Ponferreda. The castle was built by the Templar Knights - who were charged with protecting the pilgrims.
The long and winding road - near O Cebreiro
Brenda - with landscape during one of our days with many inclines. "I like hills. Hills are good for me." Or the alternative mantra - "This sucks, I want to go home."
Another incline!!!
I used the excuse of taking this picture just to get my backpack off and take a break.
Above: The courtyard of the monastery at Samos. We got in to see it despite "Brother Grumpy."
Right: Imposing view of pilgrim statue - just outside O Cebreiro.

Early morning respite - breakfast on the Camino.
