Day 24 (Friday, October 27, 2023) - Camino de Santiago de Compostela, the French way. Today we walked from Molinaseca to Ponferrada to Cacabelos and to Villafranca del Bierzo, Spain. It was rainy but cool. Today we walked with Cathy and Arlene. The walk stretched out to 7 hours😃 because we were going leisurely and happily, stopping for coffee breaks and admiring points of interest including an ancient castle built by the Knights Templars, the Cathedral of Encina, and the picturesque scenery along the way! About halfway through the walk, we stopped at a café (Bar La Ermita in Fuentes Nuevas) where we had a chat with a lovely couple who were visiting the husband’s parents (who live in the area) to show them their two-year-old baby for the first time. They talked about their plans to build a hotel with a swimming pool in the area. We wished them success in their future endeavors as we left. By the end of today, we had only 200 km more to go. Many pilgrims have been called to walk the Camino and have persevered, we are blessed to be one of them!
