Only 9.7 mls today. But hard ones. Lots of walking on sand. Gorgeous day. Perfect weather. Funny how my backpack feels heavier everyday and if anything it should be getting lighter as things are usedRead more
TravelerI think I could do the walking, but carrying a backpack would be the hardest thing for me to do.
TravelerThe back pack is the hard part. It’s such a burden on your bones. But I think it’s good exercise. That’s what I tell myself.
Traveler¡Bom Caminho!
TravelerExcited for you, have a Great time!
TravelerHave a great trip Lori! I’m glad I can follow your steps during Camino😊
