We had a relatively short, uneventful day today (until we checked into our hotel, that is) Mileage was less than 12 miles and our major hill climb was less than 1,000 feet. The weather continues to be cool in the morning (low to mid 50's) but warms up to the low 80's by early afternoon. It looks like this weather will hold until we reach Santiago. The number of pilgrims on the road has already increased substantially and I'm worried about what tomorrow will bring when we leave Sarria. We see very few of our old friends, although we did connect with Gerhardt on the trail and walked most of the day with him.
Got into Sarria @ 1:30 pm and when we checked into the hotel, we were immediately informed there was a wedding this afternoon and the party could last until 2:00 or 3:00 in the morning. I asked if we could get a room on a higher floor away from the noise and was informed it would be an additional supplement of 90 euros. We declined, thinking the noise couldn't be that bad. The receptionist said she would try to assign us a room as far away from the wedding venue as possible. I'm sure the rooms we are in (Becky and Jerry are right next door) are RIGHT ABOVE the party! The band started tuning up a while ago and the noise was deafening! Our room actually vibrated! I don't think we're going to get much sleep tonight if it really does go on as long as indicated.
We are now only 5 stages, 5 days and 71.5 miles from Santiago. Please continue to keep us in your thoughts and prayers as we will keep you in ours. Vaya con Dios.
Buen Camino
Much of our route today was through forests such as this
Now that's what I call a cattle crossing
We had a lot of downhill today also
