Day 27 to Portomarin

Here in Spain, everything is measured in KM, so today, we walked by the 100 km post, and that's how many kms we have left to Santiago. Today was an easy day. We walked 13 miles with no breaks. There was some rain but pleasant. The next town that had any albergues available was another 8 miles out, so we decided not to push the miles today. We're gonna have to make up for it in the next 3 days. It was lovely coming up to a wild horse just hanging out on the trail. And of course, we love to pet all the pups. One particular dog loved William. Speaking to other pilgrims who have been walking for a few weeks, we all struggled with the new people who just started and are walking the last 100 kms. They listen to their music on loud speakers, they don't say hi or acknowledge other pilgrims. its hard to describe how the Camino has changed in just one day. I know they have their own Camino to walk and discover but this crowded Camino is an adjustment for us veterans. I also know there is room on the Camino for everyone. My mind just has to get ready to join the world again.Read more
