      What is The Camino Without Rain?

      January 13 in Portugal ⋅ 🌧 13 °C

      The title for this post came from Margarida who said this to Lee when he brought up that he was the planning to get to his final destination the next day before the afternoon showers.

      Turned out the afternoon showers were really morning showers and I got to test out my rain gear which held up quite strongly! It should be raining here off and on for the next 4 days or so. Though today at least, when then rain broke it was a gorgeous sunny day.

      I think my favorite place today was this small shrine I passed in the middle of the woods. There are lots of rocks stacked above it that I think people placed after saying a prayer. That’s what I did anyway. I think it’s always interesting that no matter where, people always try to leave there mark somewhere. So even when I was alone in the woods, I knew that others had stood in that exact spot with a similar intention as me.

      Victor from Sintra

      May 8, 2021 in Portugal ⋅ 🌧 12 °C

      This afternoon while checking my route at a crossing, Victor appeared next to me asking in perfect english whether I'm on the camino? We ended up chatting for half an hour. Victor is history professor at Sintra University and was visiting his mother in the region he was born. An incredible discussion ensued about covid as a curtain to cover up what is really going on in the world, the "Great reset". His knowledge about what is going on simultaneously in different countries of the world was incredible. In summary authoritarianism is back, religion is dying and being replaced by a technocratic world without values and human empathy. I was deeply impressed by the complexity of his thoughts and explanation and it keped my mind busy as I rode on.Read more
