To backtrack somewhat
I was able to get a photo of me and that little cow calf so you can go back to yesterday and see at least that...the video still lost though

Lazy day today. Only 10km - Barbadello to Ferreiros. A little hilly hike with intermittent ups and downs.
The rain of course did put a damper on the day (pun intended) and it went from one extreme to another: I believe Temps never got out of the 50s

It may prove to be a rainy week as the prognosis are for rain almost every day....

Matters not for we shall March onLäs mer

One month ago today
21 juni 2022, Spanien ⋅ 🌧 57 °F
I have embarked on the actual Camino Frances
31 days later and only about 70km away from Santiago I can look back at one of the greatest trips of my life and just shake my head...

19km today in cold Temps and intermittently drizzling rain.....
I hope that my albergue tomorrow has a dryer since pretty much everything now doesn't get past "damp"...and I still have 5 more days.

Consulting the map below from marker 8 just after Gonzar to marker 27 after Palace del Rei...
Still a good clip of ups and downs but no Zubiri or O Cebreiro 🙃

tous les matins nous allons plus loin,
jour après jour la route nous appelle,
c’est la voix de Compostelle!

Ultreïa! Ultreïa! Et sus eia!
Deus adjuva nos!

Chemin de terre et Chemin de foi,
voie millénaire de l’Europe,
la voie lactée de Charlemagne,
c’est le Chemin de tous les jacquets!

Et tout là-bas au bout du continent,
Messire Jacques nous attend,
Depuis toujours son sourire fixe
Le soleil qui meurt au Finisterre.Läs mer
