| Where's our arrow? |
We had a long and relatively steep climb up the Montes de Leon where we encountered the Cruz de Ferro. Those who have seen the movie The Way will recognize it. This is the place where pilgrims heap stones (representing the weight of the sins they are carrying) at the base of the cross. We each picked up a stone early in the morning to leave here.
This was another windy day, but fortunately we avoided rain. Philipp, the guide who went out early and marked our route today, was not so lucky. He encountered heavy rain.
Our descent after leaving the Cruz de Ferro was quite difficult because of the large amount of sand and gravel on the road (due to recent repaving), and the heavy winds. We all made it safely, however.
I mentioned the movie, The Way(theway-themovie.com/) Along our "way" today, we met an older man who

had a bit part in the movie (he claims). He was selling small wooden shells that he had carved. We all bought one from him.
We have a group dinner tonight, so I will let the pictures tell the story of our day..
