• Sarria to Portomarín

    May 4, 2024 in Spain ⋅ ☁️ 54 °F

    443 miles done. 57 to go.

    Woke up and looked out the window. Rain. Again. For the 5th day in a row. It’s one of those hard days where you just want to stay curled up in bed, not walk, and binge watch a show all day. But unfortunately, that’s not possible. I have to move on.

    And so I did. And it rained all 14 miles of walking today. But thankfully it was a short day.

    In Portomarín, there was a beer fest (one tent with a half dozen brewers) and so I enjoyed an afternoon of people watching and trying a few beers. And then had an Italian dinner because…pasta (and I’ve had about 20 versions now of the same pilgrims menu dinners).

    4 more days of walking. The end is near.

    And I’m REALLY craving a massive pile of nachos with cheese and tons of jalapeños and tomatoes and sour cream and black beans and all of it. I miss spicy food! That is first on my list when I get home.
