Distance traveled: 33.3 kilometers

I woke up the next morning feeling back to normal – ready to walk on. I had a quick breakfast in the albergue and hit the road around the same time as all the other pilgrims, so unlike the day before, I wasn’t walking alone. I fell into step with a British guy named Peter who I’d met the day I left León, and we ended up walking most of the day together. We had light rain most of the morning that cleared up in the afternoon, and I arrived in Olveiroa in sunlight. The route had a decent number of climbs as we wove through forests and valleys.

I ended up having dinner in Olveiroa with the British woman with whom I’d walked into Santiago; her husband had met her there, and they were walking this bit together. I was grateful for dinner companions and for a day that had been full of conversation generally.

Also, this happened today. I’ve been wearing a FitBit for a while, but obviously, doing the Camino helped advance me to this accomplishment much faster!
