Arzua to near Santa Irene: nice walk

Pension Meson San Miguel in Brea is our home tonight. 45€ for triple room, on road side, but quiet due to quadruple window panes. Bar conveniently below, beer cold and 1,50€ per glass, Pretty 15 km walk in perfect clear fall weather over less steep terrain than yesterday, through eucalyptus forests, continuing the arboreal pattern of the last few days.

Caught up with Penny and Andrew a few km out of Arzua. Penny is toughing it out on crutches and almost got run over by a car yesterday as they took a shortcut across a highway versus the longer route through a tunnel under the road. A speeding vehicle rounded a blind corner forcing her to abandon her crutches and lunge the rest of the way across.

Photos: Marker near end today, brown beef cow, section of Camino, spectacular flowers, nicely situated house, road cut crossed by El Camino, marker near start of today's walk.
