day 8

We had an easier day today, only walking 10.5 miles from Vigo to Redondela. We spent the first hour or so walking through Vigo. The change in the demographics as we walked was evident. We left an affluent area and eventually walked through a lower socioeconomic area of town. One thing was clear, regardless of your economic status Saturday morning was the time visit your local Cafe and bar. They were bustling with locals by 9 am. We climbed out of the beautiful Port town of Vigo and traversed through small towns. Nearly all of this time was concrete and sidewalk.

We stopped at a small Cafe about 4 miles out and had breakfast of croissant and coffee. We were delayed leaving for 30 minutes as the sky opened up and heavy rain fell. Once the rain slowed we put on the rain gear3and headed out. Our next several miles were more traditional Camino paths of dirt roads, wet and muddy from the rain.

This shot of the Camino athletes was taken above the town of Redondela, our resting spot for tonight. Another successful day on the Camino. Time is moving fast. This is an awesome experience with my best Amigo!
