Portuguese Camino 2019

Lots of brief encounters with fellow walker's today too many to relate as you get to see the same faces all the time and people genuinely start to momentarily bond if that's not a contradiction in terms .

I will never forgets the laughs and sounds coming from a large group of Italian mamas as one of their group a jolly lady tried with great gusto to knock an apple from a tree with her walking pole

The craic with Shane from Ireland .Rita from Hungry and big Geoffrey from Portland USA. This started when I was having trouble getting a water fountain to give me any water .But Shane with brute strength unstuck it and we stood drinking together when Shane all of a sudden asked if I was called Jim ... I said yes? How did you know that ? He then pointed to my Starbucks cup which I carry which had my name on it .This lead to next 10 verbal sparring between the two Irish men with the other laughing sling though not sure how much they got ? When I told them where Zi was planning to stay tonight they said they would maybe try and get in there .BTW Rita really liked my pink socks

Two cross looking girls who were just in front of me on the track who abruptly stopped and started back towards me thinking we had missed a marker I asked what was wrong I was told very sharply we've had enough we are going back ..ok ?
