Little longer day on the Camino today with several pop up showers. The Rookies (Stephanie & K2) hanging in, the pros (Terry & Gene) showing us how it's done. We walked from Portomarin to Palas de Rei (roughly 15 miles). I'm holding up so far, but ibuprofen helps. :)Read more

Well, if I ever wondered what walking 18 miles would feel like, now I know. Another rainbow, many people (but that thinned out) & a bit of rain. So far no blisters & a Fast Eddie's (or Town Lounge) like supper. For some reason, all my photos aren't available. Here's a few I can access. Still no blisters, still holding up. Two more days to Santiago. Buen Camino.Read more

A shorter day, 12 miles, but alas a blister. Boo. So disappointing after all the boot wearing this summer, walking, and foot rituals the last few mornings to avoid blisters. A beautiful day to walk and tomorrow we walk into Santiago. Hard to believe I've walked almost 63 miles to get there. Given detours (pubs), probably a little more mileage. 🙃Read more
Traveler You’re in the homestretch! Treasure your last day on The Camino and time in Santiago! ❤️

A 12 mile walk into the Cathedral of St James today and not bad, few big hills, but gradual. Odd to hear a plane right over head, but Camino goes right past the runway. As Stephanie and I left Santiago for Sarria, we passed pelegrinos walking in. Today that was us. We knew the botafumeiro doesn't swing at every Mass, but lucked out, it did after Mass. Pretty amazing. Eight men manage the pulleys to make it swing towards the side naves. I wish I could load the video, so cool. Look online, I'm sure it's out there or watch "The Way".Read more

Pretty sure Fitbit will be calling me, only 13k steps today after walking between 31k & 42k per day. I walked over 80 miles in those five days. There is no doubt my cardiovascular system got a huge boost from doing this. A lot of elevation change for these flat-lander lungs, so today was an easy day around Santiago beginning with getting my Compostela, exploring the Cathedral, a haircut, and a rooftop tour (in Spanish) of the Cathedral. Pilgrims are able to get a discount on tickets, but I'd left my passport with final stamp showing I completed Camino in my room. I had digital proof from my email confirmation but still asked, "Can't you look at my feet?"

This walk was what I needed right now, thank you Terry and Stephanie for inviting me. I hope it makes the days to come a little easier, I'm sure it will.

Tomorrow I say goodbye to Spain, the Camino and my time here. I find I'm already thinking about which route to take next time . . . Buen Camino 🚶‍♀️Read more
