Camino Day 8 ~ Meet South Korea, poultry and more.

It’s the afternoon of Camino day eight and we continue down the path.

Our new friends this afternoon are from South Korea. (From now on referred to as Korea) One is a software engineer for Samsung (My tablet is a Samsung) and the other works at the Seoul airport. They requested a photo with us so we reciprocated.  They started the Camino at the border of France and have been walking for 37 days.  I don’t know how they did the Pyrenees during the winter let alone O Cebreiro.  Tough cookies!

Grapevines are found on many of the fences. Homemade wine, perhaps?

Small, elevated buildings appear in this region. A horreo holds grain and some are quite elaborate with crosses on the top.

Familiar scene for those of us from the farm.

Somehow this character trying to entice me into the bar creeps me out.  Looks like something out of a horror movie!

Yep, still creepy.

Are you sure this is the way?

Left or right?  Hmmm…

A quick shower of rain, but the temps aren’t too bad. The path winds through old, old buildings in a small hamlet.

I’m surprised to find so many trees and flowers blooming this early in the spring.

I tried to find information on Outeiro, Spain but all the pilgrims must be too tired, at this point, to care.

It may not be raining right now, but creeks are still running at full speed.

Pretty poultry brighten our Camino experience.

My grandma would say that the Bontons live here. Must be an affluent resident to have a palm tree growing in the yard, landscaping, security fencing and a nicer house than the neighbors.

Randy and I are lagging behind the rest of the group, as usual.  Randy checks in with the 2-way radio.

Randy to Hot Cross Buns… bleep!  Nothing

Again he tries to make contact:

Randy to Hot Cross Buns…bleep! 

Contact is made:  Garble, mumble, rumble, waa-waa-waa…boom,boom-boom, boom… RANDY!!!!

Randy looks at me with a puzzled look,  It sounds like a bar…
