Today, we took a short walk to Samos, home to the oldest monastery in Western history. It is a well-known Benedictine Monastery that is open to any one who would like to stay there for a minimum of 3 nights. It is for those who are seeking a silent retreat from their daily life. One joins in the meals and prayers of the monks who run the monastery.
The unpredictable weather of Galicia.
A common sight on the Camino.

Walking towards the supermarket to buy groceries after having settled into our albergue.
We took a 1-hour tour of the Monastery. It is breath-taking.
The garden inside is very conducive to Ora et Labora (Pray and Work) the motto of the Benedictines.
