October 13. Sarria

As I’ve mentioned, people look after me. The pension lady and the taxi driver had a conversation about where I’d plan to walk into Triacastela (Oct 12) and they decided I should taxi in.
Then, Oct 13, I had planned where to start walking into Sarria – Taxi €30, Bus €2, and then the pension guy said his buddy who transports bags, would take me for €15. I opted for the bag guy. But, he took me 1/2 way (€15) and handed me off to another bag guy who didn’t have a stop where I wanted, so there I was, riding all the way to Sarria with the bag guy for yet another €15! And so it went.
But I had a nice few miles exploring Sarria and running into pilgrims I’d met before. Reviewed my photos, and they were mostly lousy, so you don’t have to look at many!

Now we begin the villages with these near fences.
The Church of Santa Mariña de Sarria was originally a Romanesque church thought to be from the 12th-13th century. Elements of this original building survived (a portal drawing, a capital) before it fell into ruin.
The church was rebuilt in 1885.

Steps leading up to Old Town. Luckily, there was a great breakfast/ lunch at the top.
The Korean ladies who were in an earlier dinner photo waving to John. We had a fun visit via Google translate.
Florida women I’d met the night before. A glass of wine, then dinner. The lady on the right walks a Camino most every years. They are friends and pickle ball partners.
People taking care of me.
