Triacastela to Sarria 15 mi (Via Samos)

Started at 8:30 am
every bit of the morning was magic. These last two days have been such a gift and such a reminder of the importance of listening to intuition, choosing joy over rush, and allowing the beauty all-in. Samos variation was the path we opted to take and it was blissfully, peaceful. We saw very few others and the ones we did see were amazing humans. Paul, Terry, and a bespectacled hiker with a sparrow tattoo on his calf. Oh how I wished we’d thought to stay in Samos that night - I did NOT want to leave. I prolonged every second I could and I hate that in the end we didn’t have time to make good on the impulse to cool off and pool bathe in the many perfect river spots along this route. Oh- well if anything beckons me back it’ll be a day dedicated to sacred pool baths and drying off in shafts of sunlight cut through the canopy of ancient trees. Galacia, you are worth the sore feet. Thanks CW for telling us to check it out.Read more
