Start of today's Camino. In Portugal they say "Bom Caminho". Met up with our German friend Christian

Streets of Esposende in the morning. What a vibrant city

Thank goodness there was a fence between us and the German shepherds. They were viscous!!

When doing the Camino Portuguese always, I mean ALWAYS carry wine 🍷NOTE the hat⬆️

Todd walking with pilgrims from Germany and Iowa!!

They had just picked figs off the tree and offered some to us. It was delicious 🤤

One of the many Skinny Camino Portuguese kitty's

Met this stone faced pilgrim today. Wouldn't reveal his nationality

Ultra modern home. Did not fit in with the other homes

Finally we're not walking on cobblestones or boardwalks. Feels like home 😊

Dirt is soothing to the feet on long walks

Pop up Camino shrines honouring loved ones no longer with us.

Todd walking over a treacherous waterway. He is VERY brave💘

Morning glories grow WILD in Portugal 🇵🇹. We have a hard time getting them to flower in our backyard

Rain started near the end as Ann views the beautiful homes

Things got a little "hairy" on the trail. Thankfully her Spanish poncho worked like a charm 👌

Ferns turned red. Not because they were dying just as a change of season

Melissa, this is for you & they are still in bloom 🌹

Airing our dirty/clean laundry from our rooms window tonight

First horreo of the Camino. They stored grain in the olden days & were raised up to keep rodents out

Met the owners kitty during our evening wine tasting and she was very happy to see us 😊

CP Day 4 To Vila Nova Anha

8月29日, ポルトガル ⋅ ☁️ 20 °C

Another long day of walking, 25km over 6.5 hours. It was warm but thankfully not too sunny. We had a light rain for approximately the last hour of our hike. Gave Ann the opportunity to test out her new rain poncho. Seems to have worked!
We met up with a young guy we first met two days ago, Christian from Germany. We walked with him for a bit. Then we met up with an American, German and Swiss and walked with them for a while.
Our walk was inland today. Although the ocean was still in our view off in the distance. We really like the inland route as it takes us through small villages off the beaten track. At one point, after walking up a long, steep hill there was a little old Portuguese lady watering her garden. Todd motioned to her that he would like to be sprayed down and she happily hosed us both down. lol. It felt good. We dried up quickly.
Tonight we are in an old guesthouse with beautiful view. The best part is, the host is making us a yummy breakfast in the morning.
We had a delicious dinner tonight in town. Fish and chips and salad and Super Bock beer. Just what we needed after our big walk!もっと詳しく
