Last day of serious walking

Left O Pedrouzo at 8am in the dark. First  coffee break at 9am and the heaven's opened for the next three and a half hours.  Seemed like we were walking in a queue,  there were so many pilgrims.  Saw our first and only donkey on the Camino.  Got to albergue Mont del Gozo and the rain stopped.  We were relieved to find our luggage there, which we had sent from Pamplona on 4th September.  Dry clothes and bused downtown. Visited cathedral,  lot of scaffolding inside and outside,  pity, but that's the draw.  We saw lots of pilgrims we had met at various stages on the walk. We had a cup of hot chocolate with Teri and Will from San Francisco, a very nice couple. Collected our saint Francis compostela,  800 year anniversary.  Caught bus back to Mont del Gozo,  bowl of Galatia soup before going to bed. All the young pilgrims were celebrating till well after midnight.
