NARRATIVE: The day started well with za climb in the fog to the Cruz de Ferro. Then downhill the rest of the day. I passed through my two favorite villages - El Acebo and Riego de Ambrose where I took tons of photos. From Molinaseca to Ponferrada, it was all road walking and, unfortunately, I took the long way. Following the road instead of the Camino would have saved me an hour of walking as I had to circle back to where the albergue was. Tere got a ride from a woman at the albergue and went to see a doctor who gave her medicine and told her to rest. She was at the albergue when I arrived.
The meal was great - lentil stew, quiche, and ice cream.
I am writing this a day later because for some season, of all days, my camera lost all the photos I took this day and I was really bummed. From now on, I'm saving to the phone rather than the SD card, as I think it may need to be reformatted.
