Camino Day 1: Matsinhos, Portugal to Vil

We walked up the coast for 15 miles today. It was stunning and challenging.
My main reflections today related to:
We don’t need many things in life.
We do need to see the beauty around us, within us, and within others.
Life is fragile and short, handle with care.
Change is inevitable, adjust.
Greet and meet people with love along the way.

I met 3 women from Holland who were warm and blunt, with lots of laughter.
Three men from Australia who were lively, friendly, and fun to talk with.
Four women from Germany who were very nice and welcoming with there experiences.
Others who we greeted with Bom Caminha!

It was a very good day on the Camino and we ate almost nothing. We had espresso and an apple, skipped lunch, and found out everything is closed here (except the bar) on Sundays.Read more
