Glad Molly is getting a cat!! I hope we get a picture of Mollys new cat. I laughed when I saw her try to pet that calico. Calicos are the divas of the cat world , Molly - to be admired and not touched.
11:14 I am a bit confused about one thing. The memory I have of the journey from Astorga to Rabanal (where I stayed) is, I was going uphill - it doesn't quite seem like that on the video, though ...
@@hglundahl I don't remember a steep uphill in Santa Catalina, but I do in Rabanal. I could be wrong, because we were floating all day that day, and the hills didn't seem very hard - even the steep ones.
8:21 "still" would not be correct - more like some people reconstituted themselves as a Templar revival. And yes, in Ponferrada, not very far ahead, you have them.
1:34 First, Happy New Year, Blessed upcoming Epiphany Second, to answer the question, part of the task of the templars was protecting pilgrims. I am somewhat apprehensive of Templars now and then singling out someone needing _their_ initiations to get along in life - not you, you clearly already have a life. But the reason why my life has been in kind of a standstill since 2004 may be that I am tugging in one direction about it, and Templars (yes, there are people today claiming that "order") tugging in another, with superior resources. I basically avoided Templar sites, with the one exception of Ponferrada, where I was in a Templar held pilgrims' hostel, St. Nicolas of Flühe.
Hi Stacey, noticed you are wearing a very minimal day pack, was this successful for your purpose? I am wondering if it is too unstable with no chest strap etc.? The walk into Foncebadon certainly seems an ideal day. Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺
In reality, I didn't plan to walk using that small pack, and it wasn't ideal. One of the straps even broke at one point and I had to fix it temporarily - making it even more uncomfortable. Next time, if there is a chance that I'll use a day pack, I'll bring something a little more substantial. Yes, the walk into Foncebedon was one of our favorite days. The walk into O'Cebreiro might be even better.
Yay for a cat!! Perfect home coming present.
Oh yes! Wait until you see the pictures.

Congratulations how exciting that you’re welcoming a cat!!
We ended up getting two kittens - a brother and sister. We made a video about it and you can meet them if you watch it.
Beautiful video!!! Yay, Molly wore you down!!!!! Congratulations Molly on becoming a cat mom.
We will post cat pictures at the end of the Camino.
Well done Molly! Can’t wait to see pictures of your cat! 🐈
We will post cat pictures at the end.
9:06 More than once I enjoyed tuna empanada. They are great.
I like the jamon ones.
@@staceyandmollypilgrims That exists in empanadas?
If so, probably me too, but not on Fridays.
The forests were beautiful today
The forests of Galicia are the best!
Loving your videos! Would love to see a video on your planning process! Did you make your reservations for private rooms ahead of time?
We will put that together when we are through with the daily videos.
The cat count looks like it was a lot of fun, and effective;)
Yes, the cat count was fun. I can't remember now how we decided to count cats, but it made some days fun that might have otherwise been less exciting.
4:20 Nice to hear about the cat.
We will show pictures of the cat at the end of our Camino.
@@staceyandmollypilgrims Nice to hear that too.

11:22 Ah, now it looks like Santa Catalina and Rabanal as I recall the uphill walk!
It probably was a gentle uphill.
I do remember that walking through Rabanal was really steep.
@@staceyandmollypilgrims In Rabanal and Santa Catalina, I recall a strong uphill ... is my memory that wrong?
@@hglundahl I don't remember a steep uphill in Santa Catalina, but I do in Rabanal. I could be wrong, because we were floating all day that day, and the hills didn't seem very hard - even the steep ones.
Cats, Cats, And More Cats. Nice !!!
I have grown to respect cats. They seem very intelligent and curious.
