Summary
With almost 400 miles to their credit, Emma and Steve can hardly believe the luck they've had with the weather. Even where it has snowed there still seems to be a pristine path for them both.

Steve's favorite day was last Friday, when the two of them went through Ponferrada. The castle that greeted them in the early morning sun was a surprise and a treat.

As the day went on, the two of them knew that they were on the verge of a 20-mile day. That prospect is made much easier when you're surrounded by so much beauty in the evening sun.
