One month since we left the U.S., on May 27th, Praise God!
                We left Molinaseca and 7 hours later, arrived in Cacabelos at the Hotel Villa de Cacabelos Hotel we had seen advertized on the path (2 times, in the middle of vineyards and green hills!)  For 52Ԑ, it is a beautiful double room (habitación doble) con baño!  I immediately washed clothes and Don put out the “line” on the tiniest glass balcony you’ve ever seen!  The price also includes a buffet breakfast which certainly sounds enticing!           
                About 2 hours before arriving here, we stopped at a Cooperativa viñas for wine and tapas, 1,50Ԑ, that was mentioned in Don’s Brierley book (wrongly written as a “wine tasting with appetizer for 1Ԑ.”)
                We also stopped in Ponferrada, and got Don new walking shoes, because one of his had a hole all the way through to the ground!  The place was very reasonable and had 2 floors of shoes, Praise God!

                At Mass (Iglesia de Santa Maria), the priest gave the peregrinos special mention and a blessing.  We had a great Merluza a la plancha for dinner and paella, P.T. L.!
