Twenty Sixth Day On The Camino, Saturday, October 13, 2018

We got up at about 7:00 AM, packed, had breakfast and got out on the Way by about 8:00.

This is sunrise from the Way just a little west of Villar De Mazarife.

We spent the morning walking on roads and paths with cornfields 🌽 on either side.

Nothing runs like a Deere, even in Spain.

Even in Spain Dekalb seeds are king.

As we walked into Hospital De Orbigo, we had to cross the Orbigo River on this bridge.

As I was crossing the river I saw this guy fly fishing.

There is an old church in Hospital De Orbigo with three huge stork nests in top of the steeple.

I also saw this cat on a roof in town. I call this shot Cat On A Hot Tin Roof, on the Camino.

As we were walking through Hospital De Orbigo we spotted this beautiful church that was open for visitors. This is the altarpiece in the church.

After we visited this church we decided to stay at the alburgue next door. This is the courtyard of the alburgue.

This is a group of Japanese tourists who are going to start their Camino tomorrow in Sarria. Their guides wanted to show them what a typical alburgue looked like. I spent 10 minutes lining up everyone’s camera and taking pictures so that every member of the group had a group photo on their own camera. They were so grateful that they wanted to make me an honorary Samurai. I explained to them that I was already an honorary member of the Roman Legion and that I was walking with a couple of Italians who might get upset if I turned in my toga and donned a kimono, or whatever it is that Samurai wear. They understood and we hugged and exchanged Buen Caminos and I sent them on their way.

Marco went to the grocery store and got the fixings for an authentic Italian feast.

This is the group for dinner. We had three people from Denmark, Kim, Tina and their son Oliver, Meg from Australia, Marco from Italy and Giorgio from Italy, who now he lives in Canada.

I hope everyone is having a restful Saturday.

Good evening from Hospital de Orbigo, Spain.
