Pictures, Part 2

See comments with each picture

Being from North America, it was strange to see the above ground burial sites

The bridges there were awesome and one can only guess how old some of them are

This was the 100km post.  I am not a fan of the graffiti

This was a brand new cafe, built right on the trail.  Most of the cafes had free WIFI, but they pronounce it WeeFee

I lost my $80 Tiley hat, so this is a $14 replacement

The trails were really cool in that over the past 1000 years, they have sunk below the land on both sides

There were many dogs along the Camino - some like this you would not want to mess around with

Sunset at Morgade

There were fantastic churches

Three Amigos???

The Camino has a lot of drinking fountains - each one had a sign telling you if the water was safe to drink or not

I like these next two pictures as they seem to indicate that there is light as the end of the tunnel

A typical farming villiage

In the country, and sometimes even in the city,  almost every house has a grain crib

This bridge is at the entrance to Portomarin.  You can see the original mid-evil bridge below.  The new one is very high and you have to walk over it.  It was not windy when we walked over it, but still scary - although some pilgrims told me that when they walked it, it was very windy.

As you cross over the bridge in the previous picture, you then come to these stairs which you have to climb to arrive in the downtown area of the city.

This massive church in the center courtyard of Portomarin, was once in the lower valley.  All of the bricks were numbered, the church was dismantled, and reconstructed on higher ground.

Leading out of Portomarin, this sign clearly indicated the way to go.
