DAY 37 To Arzua

We stopped by the store and bought us some hot, fresh croissants for breakfast.  They were delicious! It is getting much warmer.  The sun has been very hot.  Vic even used my hat for a while.

The countryside is full of rolling hills.  None as high as mountains, just a lot of ups and downs.  This type of walking is hard on the knees and toes.  We have been eating aspirins and ibuprofen like candy.

We spent the day walking through some nice forests.  This is the first time we have ever been in a forest of eucalyptus trees.  Surprisingly, they smell the strongest in the mornings.  I suppose from all of the humidity from the morning fog.  I errantly thought the solar heat what activate the smell in the afternoons.

We crossed several streams and creeks today.  Vicky is getting better at walking the rock stepping stones to cross them.

We crossed another old bridge; this time to enter a small hamlet.  I would love to swim in the creek there on a hot day.  Clear, cold water and a rocky bottom.  It reminds me of Barrenfork Creek in Oklahoma.

We arrived in Arzua and rented a room in the Pension Rua.  We are at the end of the hall and have a tub.  Yahoo!

Tomorrow we walk to O Pedrouzo.
