Oct. 1,2014 From O Cebreiro to Triacastela a mere 13 miles

The morning was very cold but the day turned out so beautiful. I again decided to take the roadway as I find it easier to walk on paved asphalt instead of gravelly uneven trail. It was safe as there was not much cars on the road. This is L-633 probably a state road that only locals use it.

Sept. 30,2014 Monday O Cebreiro

This is Yo g from South Korea. I have met him before, he walks very fast & leaves very early in the morning. He says I am amazing because I just keep on walking ever so slowly but gets to where Everybody ends up at the end of the day. He is also very grateful for the Americans & Filipino soldiers during the Korean War. He likes the Filipinos. He invited me to dinner with the 3 girls to celebrate Emily's Birthday. We had grilled pulpo ( octopus) , they drank beer, I had water.

Sept. 30,2014From Villafranca del Bierzo to O Cebteiro 18 miles

There were 2 routes to take; 1,the easy & shorter way was the roadway Nacional VI or the scenic way up & down through the trees, nature. I decide to take the shorter route though I walked by the road. It turned out to be a really safe way as there was a concrete divider between the road & the pilgrim's trail. The road is in the valley between the 2 mountains, I thoughtIwould only walk up to Vega de Valcarce butI got there at 12 noon too early ro stop.is topped there to have lunch & also bought peach & pear. I saw these chestnuts & wished it was already roasted just like in the Philippines, but it was raw.
