Ferrol to Neda

Walking alone in a country where I don’t speak the language has been an adventure. 🤣 I was stopped within the first quarter mile by a very sweet elderly lady who was warning me with lots of hand gestures to be looking forward and back at all times to be safe alone. I pulled out my translate app to understand. It was all very kind how worried she was that I was alone. I could have told her my husband has been constantly telling me I have to keep my head on a swivel while I’m here. But I was afraid she wouldn’t understand that and would think it was some sort of exorcism thing. 😈 Another time two elderly gentlemen stopped me and tried to get me to go back. They thought I missed the path. They didn’t understand that I have the Wise Pilgrim app which was showing me an alternate greenbelt path along the river. They wanted me to walk along the road.. I definitely have a lot of help. ❤️And I’m appreciating the caring sentiment behind it. So far, I have not met any English speaking pilgrims along the trail. Perhaps tomorrow. But I’m getting along with Google Translate and hand gestures. The hotel I’m staying at tonight is very lovely. Not very many guests. It’s like an old mansion built on the water. A shorter day. I was done and showered by 3:30. Tomorrow will be a little bit longer and there’s a chance of 🌧️ . It’s all part of the adventure. Lol.Read more
