• Day 35: To Ribidiso.

    June 15, 2023 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 81 °F

    Almost there… only two nights to Santiago! Today was a long (over 30k) hot day. The guidebooks showed a 26k day (which my feet will tell you is already pushing my limits) but they, well, lied. Don’t get me wrong, it was a beautiful hike. Just long, and by the time I arrived, hot.
    Before leaving town there was a nice pilgrim statue helping to point the way. (Not that there is any doubt.)
    Today I met new people, walked alone, and reconnected with some, including a friend that was Dorothy’s and my roommate the first night we arrived in St Jean Pied de Port before beginning our Camino. Today’s walk included periods of young exuberance, periods with only the birds singing, and a few minutes to stop and listen to some nice Spanish guitar.
    Tomorrow, to O Pedrouzo.
