Rain and cold but still beautiful days of walking

Today, even with the rain, we took our time along the mountainous pathways, the wind could have blown us over, and the rain has been relentless for two days. Night before last we stopped in a one man show town, not sure you can call it a town, Fonfria, kind of like in that movie where it is the same guy who is your waiter, then your taxi driver, the hotel receptionist, that keeps reapprearing, but the neatest little town with pointed roofs and a celtic influence. definatley from another time.

Again in Sarria, we woke up to rain that is still with us two days later. we are still carrying on with the lady from south africa, still searching for a home for the collie. dwight and i have only 4 days to walk to santiago, even passing the 100 k marker today was quite the event. the scenery here is so unbelievable and changing every day. we have had the most amazing walks thru trees that are straight out of the movie big fish, so annimated, with faces and arms, very mystical. one man stopped us to tell us about his 900 year old tree, showing us exactly where to stand to get the best picture. so endearing. last night we sat by a wonderful fire, drying out mostly, and singing old songs with a few irishmen, a german, an english very young guy and our host from the auberque who we desperately wanted to chat with but the language barrier was too great.
we arrived in portomarin kind of late in the day, 15 miles today. still cold, still raining, but we are warm and ready to go another 16 more tomorrow. maybe.
