    April 5 in Portugal ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C

    Had a great start to the day.
    I passed a man chatting with 2 women and he offered a fresh hot bun to me. So many kind offerings here🥰

    I dropped my raincoat and a lady stopped to pick it up for me😥♥️

    I keep seeing this guy from Poland, in his seventies and nearly deaf. He was in our room tonight. He had boxes of prayers on cards in all sorts of languages....and he gave out chocolates♥️ He enjoyed some of my coffee this am. One of the lenses from his glasses went missing.....he curses a lot in Polish😂

    Walked beside the beach for a long way then switched to boardwalks. After awhile it grew a bit tiresome. I felt trapped as there was no way you could climb out and even if you did.... We were in brush.

    The rain turned into being hot and humid in the afternoon.
    Delightful Hostel!!

    So far I have met the most pilgrims from the USA. Michigan, Louisiana, Utah ( they had an 8 month old daughter, Washington State.... A lot of Germans and French. Also Lithuania and Russia.
