Carrie is walking thru a village on the way to Ponferrada. Again the geraniums are in the pots, making lots of color
The view is over the city and is taken from the castle of the Knights Templar, an organisation that was set up to protect pilgrims from robbers. The Templars eventually became rich and powerful, but were overthrown by the Pope about 1307

Hey Carrie!
What awesomeness: I love the photos and posts!
It's a pity the Templars were dissolved before you got to Spain. It would have been handy to have a rich, powerful knight to protect you along the camino, and play cards with.
Perhaps suggest to the current pope that it's time to reestablish the order.
I'll be a regular reader now that EXAMS ARE FINISHED!!!.

You are going well and looking in good shape. I've tracked you past Ponferrada to Villafranca del Bierz on the map. How many more days to Santiago now? Much love, Dad/Grandad
Lovely photo carrie, you look like you are having lots of fun.
Things well here, having plenty of family time :-) Look forward to spending more time with you guys when you come home. Hugh - Bonnie misses you terribly, she cant stop talking about you ;-)
I will be watching for your next update.
Lots love - Aunty Trudy xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
