Fruit of the Vine

Most families have a small vineyard growing their own grapes along with other vegetables and fruit. One thing I’ve noticed is everyone has a lemon tree, I don’t see many items with lemon so I wonder what they do with all the lemons? Each family pretty much have their own olive trees as well. The fruit is so much more flavorful here.

Another holiday in Portugal today. Along with the blackout day that makes 5 out of the last 12 days where the country has basically been shit down with few places open along The Way. Left this morning to 47 degree temp, but it warmed ip nicely by the afternoon. Met a whole new group of pilgrims along the camino and met up again with Tammy and Rachelle. Andrea, Berkley, George (think French pronunciation) and another gentlemen from Romania and woman from Spain. Had lunch with the Romanian gentlemen and Andrea upon entering Agueda. They were all staying in Albergue’s which is most likely why I haven’t seen them previously. Most of the walk today was along paved roads not very exciting, but I did see a lamb and some great views.

Tomorrow is only 10 miles so thinking of just going without my backpack to lighten the load.Leia mais
