C de F: Rest Day in Muxia

And he rested on the seventh day

Genesis 2:2

After 6 days of walking some 130 kms, it is a Rest Day here in Muxia.

Sunday lunchtime tapas 

Rest Days are a crucial part of Pilgrimage.

It has been an "exhilarating" week out on the Costa da Morte 🇪🇸 .

Beaches:

Views back along the coast :

Lighthouses aplenty:

Never forgetting the Leap of Death and the Wall of Death !!!

But in the end Pilgrimage is about Pilgrims !

This has been a tough 6 days.

The afternoon of Day 1 and the 10 hours of Day 2 would test even the most experienced of walkers.

But the Lighthouse Lovelies  - average age of 67 - have really  dug in.

Encouraging each other on the longest of days, the steepest of climbs and the most challenging of Boulder Fields.

A few days ago a friend - closely following from afar - sent me:

On Pilgrimage we all walk together to reach our destination.

Two days left to reach Finisterre, the End of the Earth.

What did Confucius say ...

You didn't even begin think I'd forgotten that sine qua non of Rest Days ...
