Leaving town before the rain begins
A pedestrian bridge out of town
We left Ponte de Lima about 7:30 trying to get a few hours in before the rain began. Ha! No chance. It starting raining as we crossed the bridge out of town.
There are two types of special days on the Camino. One is the day you step out to welcoming, but not hot, sunshine. Anyone would want to be outside on this kind of day.
The other is like today. Almost every minute was a downpour. We climbed a mountain on mud and a slick rock trails. The views were spectacular. We are so lucky to able to do this!
Our boots held up well to walking in the stream bed, for a while. Eventually they caved to the relentlessness of being under water most of the day.
Wild beauty
Breakfast spot on the trail
At our breakfast place
Vistas all day
Am easier part of the trail. It was too steep and too rainy to photo the really challenging parts.
Nice place at the end of the day too
