Oct 3/11 Sarria - Portomarin 21.5km

It was GRUELING today.  most of the trek was uphill and down hill, uphill and down hill.  Very steep both ways.  Plus it was another 30 + degree day.  SO HOT.
The scenery was gorgeous as usual.  Off the road into these overgrown trails between farm lands.  The trees are something out of a Disney movie. Very detailed in knots and contorted covered with ivy.  The abondance of fruit and nut trees is something to see.  Walnuts, acorns, hazel nuts and apple trees.  you have to watch when you walk by them so that you don´t get smoked in the head by falling fruit.  Very true.
Our bodies hated us today.  we´re both walking like we have something stuck up our bums. lol. Our calves are so tight.  I´m actually almots out of ibruprophin! 
it was a long day, but we made huge accomplishments today.  So we had a wonderful dinner with wine and at each dinner we have we give a toast and drink our faces off...with water of course.
