Sarria to Mercadoiro

We have a short walk today, from Sarria to Mercadoiro, around 18 km, or just under 11 miles.  

It was overcast this morning when we left our hotel in Sarria.IMG_3002.jpg

There are a lot more people on the Camino.IMG_3005

Still, there are times when we are walking alone.IMG_3013

The Camino goes by small farms, not through villages, as it had done earlier.  The farms all have sheds with cows in them.  We can hear—and smell—the cows, if we can’t always see them.IMG_0005Thanks to the many cows, we continue to step around the splatter art on the Camoono.

It is a short day, which gives the artist an opportunity to practice her craft from the lawn in front of our pensione.IMG_3045.jpg

I have been remiss for not posting two of Anne’s earlier works.  Here is her rendering of the Convento in Burgos.IMG_2703.jpg

And of a lake outside Logrono.IMG_2989.jpgThe next several days are short, so more art should be in the offing.

    1. The artist asked me to convey her thanks. After a month of walking, we are finally fit. I have been trying to convince Anne that since we are now in good shape, we should walk back–we have met people doing this–but so far she has not agreed.
