Morgade to Gonzar

No wifi tonight, October 9.  Will post at cafe tomorrow morning.

We put in an 11 mile day today.  Started out at 8:00 and ended the day at 2:15.

Foggy start and a sunny finish.  Got to our albergue - Casa Garcia, showered and paid for a load of laundry - 1 load for all of us - wash and dry for 6 euros.  Then we had beers and snacks, and now we wait for dinner!

Walked about an hour and then We made a breakfast stop. This place just opened this year, run by husband and wife. Janet, Mare and I had omelets, Victoria had eggs and bacon,  3 cafe con leches and 1 tea con leche. Neat place.


We continued onward following the yellow arrows
