    Camino Portuguese

    Yesterday in Portugal ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C

    I took a break from the Camino and made a slow trip from south east Portugal to Northwest Portugal by train and bus. I met Sheila my wife for a few days at an apartment that she had rented in Vienna de Castillo and then started walking the Camino Portuguese from there.
    Jenny, a friend from the states joined me for the first day. The walk included a boring part, a very interesting part, and an impressive thunderstorm. We were invited to take shelter by a construction crew working near the Camino, and we’re later joined by an assortment of other pilgrims. We later found a coffee shop and a taxi pulled up just in time to return Jenny to our starting point. I continued a little further to what promises to be a very good Albergue. A gentleman from Lithuania has headed down the road, looking for a bottle of wine and promising a second birthday party.
