Today we walked from Rabacal to Coimbra in warm and sunny weather with little wind. We are definitely out of flat farmland and in wooded hills. After leaving our friends yesterday we saw very few pilgrims today. In fact we were hailed by a couple of Aussies as we entered Coimbra and were told that we were the first pilgrims that they have encountered. While we walked through countryside, we have encountered small villages where we didn't expect them. We also experienced generosity unexpectedly. Thus, an elderly man on a bicycle stopped in front of us, reached into his bag and gave a couple of the tastiest oranges. We are also on the Camino that leads southward to Fatima so we have seen many blue arrows pointed in the opposite direction.
