The descent was lovely and treacherous, walking on slate or granite with wet leaves and chestnut husks.<br \/>\nOnce we got to the bottom we came to the river. At this point, the river had taken over the whole path and we had to walk on the wall. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.theboaks.com\/camino\/wp-content\/uploads\/20131108-081754.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.theboaks.com\/camino\/wp-content\/uploads\/20131108-081754.jpg\" alt=\"20131108-081754.jpg\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nWe finally got to the first place we could have lunch around 2 pm and were ravenous.

We are at Albergue Paloma y Le\u00f1a. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.theboaks.com\/camino\/wp-content\/uploads\/20131107-201501.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.theboaks.com\/camino\/wp-content\/uploads\/20131107-201501.jpg\" alt=\"20131107-201501.jpg\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" \/><\/a>the Albergue is lovely, one of the nicest we have stayed in. It is motel style so each room has 2 bunk beds. Since perigrinos are few at this point, we got a room to ourselves. We had a lovely vegetarian dinner with a French couple whom we had seen a couple of nights ago at dinner in Trabadelo.<\/p>\n<p>We are now encountering km to Santiago posts every 500 meters. This is a big encouragement.
