Fences, Boarders & Boundaries

There are many beautiful fences and boundaries lining the path to Santiago de Compostela. It was a comfort many times, especially when we were passing a dairy farm. 

At one point we came to a pasture at the end of the trail. There was no clear boundaries between the Camino trail and the pasture the bull cows were eat in. We felt unsure about continuing forward. We walked back to the previous sign and it directed us back to the pasture with no fence!  

Having walked back and forth a few times Todd decided we should go for it. I was so nervous. We walked a few feet away from several bulls with nothing but air between us. When we were almost to the next gate I came across a cow pie in the middle of the trail!

Isn't that just how it goes!  If we don't have proper boundaries we just might get a cow pie in the middle of our experience.

Trees covered in moss create the boarder for the last part into Santiago de Compostela. Amazingly beautiful!
