The hotel Carlos in Mellide was a wonderful experience! Victor and his family treated us like VIP! The food, the service, and the personal attention was so appreciated. Our first day on the French route! As we left the city we passed the 50k mark to Santiago… So exciting! We saw more pilgrims in the first hour than our total previous days! Meeting people from all over the world… Buen camino is shared in every exchange. Great huevos and pan with Acura cheese for lunch. We hobbled in to Salceda late afternoon after 28 k … The miles have worn on us and we are pretty beat up but still in great spirits. One day to go!
“Roads go ever ever on,
Over rock and under tree,
By caves where never sun has shone,
By streams that never find the sea;
Over snow by winter sown,
And through the merry flowers of June,
Over grass and over stone,
And under mountains of the moon…
–J.R.R. Tolkien, The Hobbit
