One of my favorite places in Rural Spain was Alberque Los Caminantes near Arzua!  The entrance of the village was highlighted with a Romanesque bridge.  The walls of the Alberque were made of granite measuring at least two feet!  Here is a view out my "Backyard!"

 

 

 

The evening also include a visit from a local pooch.  He hung around and followed me through out my exploring until I was heartbroken to send him away!

 

 

The next morning on the Camino I saw a man with a North Carolina Tar Heels hat.  Of course I said, "Tar Heels Fan?"

 

He quirked in a very excited way, "Are you from America?  I am from Poland and I plan to go to New York City next year and rent a car and drive across country to that Grand thing and go to the Mojave desert and travel across that Golden Bridge you have!!!" 

 

He turned a walked away as I stood there stunned and speechless.  I still don't know if he was Tar Heels fan.
