We arrived in Sarria this afternoon after hiking around 14 kilometers through the rolling hills of the countryside complete with wooded trails and beautiful waterfalls. It was a nice change in terrain compared to the steep mountains we climbed yesterday! Before our hike we visited a Benedictine monastery and toured the grounds for about an hour. Although we did not get to hear the great singing voice of one of the monks, the group was blessed to hear a new and modern version of Amazing Grace sang by a few of our group members. 

We celebrated Murtaza’s 24^th birthday this morning by attempting to sing Feliz Cumpleanos at breakfast and giving him a card signed by our whole group. We have heard that there is another surprise planned for this evening so be sure to check back later with an update!
