Sunrise as we left Los Arcos this morning. As we walk the Camino, we are always facing west, so we won't notice the sunrise unless we turn around to look. One temptation of the Camino is to relentlessly pursue the goal of getting to the next town, and fail to notice where we are and reflect on where we've just been.

Today we noticed.
Arriving in Viana.
Resting in Viana.
Simplest accommodations - mats on the floor- we've had so far, in an albergue run by Santa Maria parish, in a little corner of the church building. But very cozy and welcoming.
We're doing well physically and weather has been perfect so far. Compared to 3 years ago when we saw more québécois than Americans, an amazing change as the Americans seem to have taken over. All good people, but we hope to meet more people who are not so much like us!
