Day 40- A Different Day

I did indeed attend Mass last night. The priest sang most of the Mass. He had an incredible voice and the acoustics in the Romanesque building made it even better. That Mass will stay with me for a while and as I look back on this blog, it will remind me how lucky I was to experience it. Frank and I walked all the way to Ourense together. The day just flew by. Yes, it did rain for parts of the day. We ended the day with a beer and lunch as Frank is spending an extra day here and I am getting back on the Camino in the morning. I would be lying if I told you all I wasn’t thinking about finishing up and flying home. Just 5 days, I can deal with it. I am strengthened by all the support flowing from home and above. I’m blessed.

Random and only picture taken on the Camino today. We went through lots of towns, not much to pictorially highlight.
