The way to Sarria

Today's walk was to Sarria- this is a big milestone since we are now just 100km to Santiago !   I have to admit that we are getting tired and ready to be done & come home !!  Not that it hasn't been a great experience but it has been a long journey... Please keep up your prayers that we can finish strong, I still want to experience fully these last few days.
So today had 2 options of route and we decided to take the route that followed the road more, not our usual choice, but it was 6.5 km shorter ( and we are tired : ).   Well you guessed it, missed the marker again and took the more scenic but longer route... Aargh!   This route took us to Samos where there is one of the oldest monastery in the world- built in the 6th century.

  Interesting, but not worth the extra 6km!!  
 Also not much in the way of food available along the way so it was a long day. When we got to Sarria, found our beds and spied an Italian restaurant down the street-- but of course it was still siesta !  So we camped out with some ciervazas until the kitchen reopened.  Had an awesome pizza--almost forgot to take a picture since we jumped on it so fast --delicious and a fun waiter made us feel better
