Day 38-Barbadelo

Today's walk went by in the blink of an eye. We walked 12 miles through lush farmland and trees, through villages in a light, misty rain. We stopped in Sarria, a small city, for lunch and we bought waterproof gaiters to keep our socks and shoes dry. It's supposed to rain everyday for the rest of our trip.

It's been said that once reaching Sarria, the Camino gets more crowded and noisy. It's gotten a little more crowded but alot more noisy from a group of four Kiwi ladies having a good time. They're really nice but it's a bit jarring after the peace and quiet we've had for over five weeks. We might just have to join in since it's harder to notice the noise when you're part of it.

The days are really starting to go by quickly now. It's really a bittersweet feeling. It's been a really hard journey at times, physically and mentally, but it's been everything having Pat with me to experience the highs and lows. Even though this Camino was my idea, I don't know if I would have had the willpower to keep going if I weren't with him.Okumaya devam et
