A fun day with little surprises along the way.
Ran across fun pals from Denmark then we happened into an "oasis" in the middle of a forest. This funky rest stop featured neon totem poles, art & hammocks in addition to pilgrim fare. We took time to make a huge "La Vida" message for friends traveling behind us. They knew immediately it was for their benefit but several pilgrims showed me pictures of the message that they had taken throughout the day. Paying it forward!
In San Juan de Ortega, I finally met up with a friend-of-a-friend, Mark, who was also on this pilgrimage so we joined up for upcoming legs after enjoying dinner and pilgrim mass in the local monastery. This tiny village had two restaurants, an inn & an aubergue/monastery.
26k to SJdO (population 20- yes, 20!)
