Now, shall I walk
Or shall I ride?
"Ride," Pleasure said
"Walk," Joy replied

Our hike today was along rocky paths made slippery by the mist that lingered.

We were pleased to see fellow pilgrims we'd met before, checking on each other's progress and aches and pains. We met new friends from the U.S. when Susan asked for help with her hiking poles. Austin and Patrick, from Texas, were just starting their Camino.

Today's hike seemed easier. Maybe we're getting stronger! We are pleased to have arrived in a charming town, Vila Praia de Âncora, where we'll rest up for tomorrow's hike.

Here is our map of today's journey:

We did wander off the trail twice today, but quickly backtracked to reroute ourselves. We had been distracted by conversation and beautiful flowers.
Keeping Count:
Falls so far- Susan 1 😖
Dee 1😏

While the basic architecture of the 69380 is related to the 7750, there are a plethora of differences. Most significantly, the 69380 uses IWC's own dual-pawl winding system and also uses a column wheel instead of the lever and cam system found in the 7750. The jewel count is higher in the 69380 as well – 33, as opposed to 25 in link a stock 7750 – link and the power reserve is slightly longer, at 46 link hours versus 42 for the 7750.
