  • Journey to Gijon

    18. september 2023, Spanien ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C

    I like this city very much, Gijon. We've been traveling as the cinco amigas for days. Having each other helps to lift our spirits when days are difficult. We help to encourage one another. We are less than 373 kilometers from Santiago!
    Maddi has to touch every dog and cat on the way. If she was able to catch the rabbits, she would have snuggled them, too.
    The beaches are wide and panoramic, and the water's temperature is easy to swim in.
    I'm catching up on extra sleep rather than going out tonight. Dinners are at 8: or 9:. By that time, I'm no longer hungry, that my bed time.

    What a quiet place to spend the afternoon and evening. It was an easy walk today (rarely will I say this). But this whole day was as pleasant as can be. The albergue was clean, uncrowded, and they served the most beautiful breakfast. My favorite of Albergues yet.
    A dog watches us pass from the balcony.
    Crochet swatches hang like prayer flags above the park, along with crochet blankets wrapped around trees.
    The town lights reflect on the bay. What a relief to have found such a peaceful place to sleep and dine.

    Some days I think that this is enough! I'm tired of smelling like sweat, wearing damp clothing, taking short showers, and having no baths. The long treks to push for 7 hours each day. I need a vacation!
    Still, the beauty overrides all the discomfort at the end of the road.
    A random two orange chairs are set in the woods for travelers to rest.
    This large bridge structure is amazing! How can it stand so high and long on those immense pillars? Vehicles drive on top, while the rail below is for the train to pass. Amazing structure!
    Beautiful gatitos. All the stories we hear about fierce watch dogs in Spain? Here's a fiesty one!

  • Hello autumn equinox! In Queruas

    21. september 2023, Spanien ⋅ 🌬 19 °C

    I walked past the seaside several times today, not always am I walking so close to the shores. With many shades of blues and greens, it's so pleasant to gaze on while catching my breath between climbs. We share an early morning breakfast before we head off for the day's walk.
    I grew to love each one of these lovely people as we challenge through each day.
    Sandra is walking through the river, balancing stone by stone. We each had to do the river dance to keep the feet dry. I scaled it in sandles and socks with the success of dry feet.
    I love how, in a public bathroom, there is a toothbrush and paste dispenser.✔️
    Taking moments to enjoy the oceanside is always rejuvinating, and it is a good time to take our snack and rest.
    Chestnuts grow everywhere. One can collect such a harvest here.
    We stayed in a very clean alberque tonight. It's a real comfort when bunks have curtains, it's then our own private cubbyhole.
    As we each head off to our days journeys, on each our own pace and time scheduals, some we may walk with, meet at the end of the day, or never meet again. It's most often hello, good- bye. We share stories, secrets, ambitions, and quanderies. We consol, comfort and encourage eachother. It's quite a therapy session on the Camino.
    There are nearly twelve days left of this walk. The closer we get to Santiago, the faster our pace becomes.
    We all will come to the end of our journeys changed in subtle ways. Returning home in a slightly altered state, all improved, readjusted. And the memories we will carry will continue to amuse and comfort us for all our lives.

  • To piñera

    22. september 2023, Spanien ⋅ ☀️ 18 °C

    With about 10 more days until I reach Santiago, the end of the road is so near. Accommodations in the municipals are quite challenging. Sharing of bathrooms, showers, and sleeping in dorm rooms with many people. How I would appreciate soaking in my own bath again!
    The level of the terrain has become more even, not so steep. The climbs are less intense. It's easier to travel further distances now, but still, 6 hours of walking in a day is my limit. It's a good feeling of accomplishment at the end of each day when I reach my goal destnation, usually 10-15 miles.
    The weather has cooled down suddenly, and I may be walking in blustery winds off and on throughout the day. I keep my poncho handy because, at any moment, a down pour can be released.
    The group of people I walk with keeps changing. We connect for a time and then go our own ways. That's the way of the camino.

    23. september 2023, Spanien ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C

    I have to keep turning around as I walk early in the morning, not to miss the sun rising behind me.
    The corn and maze fields are being sheered down, the squashes are being harvested, the last of the apples, pears, and figs are dropping from the trees, and there is now a chill in the air; it's actually blustery these days.
    We came across a state of the art vending machine in a sheik neighborhood. Vending machines are everywhere here with chilled drinks, like tea, beer, sodas, and even carrot juice. There are choices of dry roasted nuts, chocolate bars, chips... no matter where you are, you are never too far from a snack.
    A cat of the day picture, because there are always cats around.
    I arrived early to an albergue with a quiet place to wash and hang my clothes today before the rest of the walkers arrived. The place filled up after 4:, all 18 beds.
    I saw several Robo lawn trimmers as we passed through the more stately homes. First time seeing those!😅

  • Now in the land of Galicia! (Ribadeo)

    24. september 2023, Spanien ⋅ 🌙 12 °C

    I began this morning as a solo walk to Tapia because my Australian friends were not feeling up to par. It was an easy walk, a cool and sunny morning. After a rest stop and lunch by the harbor, I headed up to continue my walk to Ribadeo. There, I spotted my friends who had bussed to Tapia ( and Judy feeling much better), it's the Camino way if we haven't completed the journey together, the journey will continue. More often than not, when we break away from walkers, you won't meet again unless there's unfinnished business with one another. Friendship, spiritual, and many kinds of lessons are to be learned.
    This will be the last close encounter to the sea from here, as we head inwards to Santiago. Such a gorgeous sea side! Farewell Atlantic beauty✨️💗
    An avenue of trees is soothing to walk through. I'm seeing the change as we enter the Galicia country.
    The 7th picture of the stone trench, under a wood roof, is what's left of once was the central washing area in the center of town. Women would bring their washing there and socialize as they cleaned their family's dirty laundry. I could imagine the chatter, laughter, scrubbing, and water flowing. It must have been quite a pleasant time in their day, doing laundry.💖
    I'm ready to complete this walk, yet I'm beginning to feel a bit meloncholy in saying goodbye.
    Every day is so interesting!
    (And of course, another Camino cat photo)

  • Ribadeo Sweet Shop

    25. september 2023, Spanien ⋅ 🌙 12 °C

    It's the most beautiful sweet shop I've ever seen! ( I love what it reads on the window...😅) I had a piece of apple cake and a coffee before we headed off for the bus station. There, we found 10 other walkers taking a hop day to Abadín on a bus. It would be too long of a day to walk. Now we'll be on schedual to make our expected date to Santiago. We'll set out tomorrow to walk 13 miles to Vilalba.Læs mere

  • Abadín

    25. september 2023, Spanien ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C

    Many walkers gather across the street this afternoon, across from my room where I will sleep tonight (Xabarín albergue). I have a clean bed by a window. All is well.💗
    At 7:00, while it's still dark, the walkers begin sliding off the bunk beds, with their head lamps glowing, finding way to the bathrooms. The shuffling of backpacks and walking sticks all prepare for another walk to various destinations. Every day, we further on to Santiago through our wounds and obsticles. We who have been on the trail for a while are calloused and move through a regular routine. We're only a week away from completion. The days are passing a lot more quickly now.
    A friendly horse asking to be petted.
    Two young girls from Australia are riding their bikes across Spain and camping the whole way.
    A large sign of a coffee cup directing us to a café, just when we needed one.
    Some graffiti is quite beautiful.
    There are so many endearing moments on the camino that I will miss. My heart is full.✨️💖

  • Magical Galicia✨️

    26. september 2023, Spanien ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C

    In this misty moisty morning, in the land of Galicia, the spiders were out all night creating these wonderful designs! The most beautiful morning walk yet!!
    There were miles of lovely green woodland. We stopped to buy fruit at a stand where you pay by honor system. The sweetest dog of all my walk on the camino stood quietly, begging for me to share my banana with him. Then, after leaning on me, he went back to sleeping in the sun.
    The tall stone marker was the early markers that guided the pilgrims to Santiago before the yellow arrows and shells we now have marking the camino today.
    The gorgeous detail of a cemetary just before vilalba.
    A very good day today💗.
