Another scenic feast for most of today.  The scenery changed from the sea to the mountains as the Picos Europa still with some snowy peaks came into view. Another day of walking in a perfect temperature about 15 deg. c.  It was a bit cloudy and when the sun showed itself it warmed us perfectly.

We walked over rolling hills on mostly bitumen sometimes beside a stream.  Occasionally finding and losing other pilgrims and enjoying varied conversations.  Other times we were by ourselves, talking, singing or happily silent.

Along the way we found a picnic bench in a little park by the river and we decided it was a great spot for lunch.  As we were about to sit down a Spanish pilgrim joined us at the table.   He spoke about as much English as we speak Spanish and it was enough for us to sit and share our food and some conversation together .  We had a lovely picnic together and then it was time to walk on.  This was such a typical Camino day.
