• To Sao Miguel de Arcos

    12 de junho, Portugal ⋅ ☁️ 63 °F

    Today = dodging cars, rating the difficulty of the cobbles, dealing with the uncertainty of rain, the smell of freshly fertilized corn fields and wishing for a cafe to rest our feet.

    Today also = crossing an ancient bridge, smelling the fragrant hydrangeas and listening to the wind through the eucalyptus trees.

    Most of the time it seemed we were the only pilgrims on the route, but then we caught up to Helen walked a with her a bit.

    Other pilgrims seen today:
    * Two more women from Taiwan (one named Melanie)
    * Three people from the Netherlands - a husband and wife and a man named Jerome (I think) 🙂

    We finally did make it to a cafe, although it was at the very end of our walk! 😂

    We were spoiled by our host tonight with a four course dinner that normally would have been WAY too much food for me. Obviously, we burned some calories today because we ate it all!

    Tomorrow, we will walk to Barcelos.
