Lavacolla, Spain

When it rains it pours and it certainly did  both today. It rained really hard and the wind was very gusty today which made for a very long day, and we stopped short of finishing for that reason. We stopped in Lavacolla, Spain which is 10km (6.1miles) from Santiago de Compostela.  We have a few hours to go tomorrow.

Not a lot of fun things occurred today other than meeting a couple fun pups to scratch their ears. We did spend a lot of time walking through water and dodging creeks flowing down some fairly steep hills. My boots are "waterproof" but that merely means from rain and not standing water. I did use something called a gaiter to to keep water out of the area top of the boot where your feet enter the boot. But the gaiter fought a good but losing battle in keeping my socks dry.  Wet socks equate to blisters so we stopped short of finishing today.

Tomorrow we go to the church and will do all of the rituals. I'll tell you all about the rituals tomorrow.  Stay dry.
