26 June - day #29

Sarria to Portomarin, about 25 km. After walking the segment, we had to climb these stairs at the end of the bridge across the lake. At the top of the stairs, only a short walk to the albergue, Albergue O'Mirador. Much has changed since Sarria, since it is the minimum distance to walk for an official Compostela (certificate). More pilgrims, more noise, more cell phones, more litter - all making more of a challenge to focus on the spiritual. Reminds me of the parable about vineyard workers - the ones who arrive late still receive the full reward. PEACE!
