Redondela, Rosa, and Our “Private Room”
Saturday, September 22 – Breakfast at the Hotel Arco’s café, run by Manuel’s daughter. She too tells me about her mother (Manuel’s wife) walking from Sarria to Santiago in three days. 100 km in three days. I ask, “WHY?” and … Continue reading
Into The Woods . . . for awhile
Friday, September 21 – Ria, Michael and I, along with the other Albergue guests, walked out early today in deep fog. 62 degrees and 99% humidity. A common theme for the coast, I guess. The paltry breakfast at the … Continue reading

Across The Portuguese/Spanish Border
Thursday, September 20. I’ve been thinking about how very different this Camino is . . . not only that I’ve been in Portugal rather than Spain, thus far. Not only that I’m on a beach boardwalk for the most part, … Continue reading
Beach Day Off
Wednesday, September 19. My day at the beach is lovely, though I had sent my swim suit on to Santiago earlier, when I thought I would have no time to get in the water. But the view is magnificent and … Continue reading
Mini-vaca in a beach town
Tuesday, September 18. This morning, I can’t say I “awakened” because I hardly slept all night. Went to bed at ten, woke up at midnight for the bathroom and then could not go back to sleep. I hate these nights. … Continue reading
Viale do Castelo and then on my feet again
NOTE: Forgot to track my distance on the 16th. 13.9 km. MONDAY – September 17. Up at a decent hour from our room in the green hotel, and Ria had already scouted out a bakery for tea and crumpets. She … Continue reading

On The Boardwalk
September 15-16, 2018: Matosinhos to Povoa de Varzim Before I began this Camino, I promised myself I would travel only what was a bit farther than comfortable . . . I’ve done two full Caminos in the past and have … Continue reading
Camino Portugues 2018 and Barcelona beyond . . .
BEGINNING – Friday – September 14, 2018 Well, actually, I began yesterday with an afternoon flight from Denver to Newark, connecting to Porto, Portugal. The only complication came at the beginning, since I had carefully packed my walking sticks, collapsed … Continue reading

Tomorrow . . . it’s lift off!
Wednesday, September 12, 2018 It’s nearly midnight, but I just want to keep my momentum going . . . my pack is stuffed, my Barcelona suitcase is ready to go, and I promise myself I’m going to bed. Flight to … Continue reading

Camino Portugués coming up soon!
Monday, September 3, 2018 In ten days, I will pick up my backpack and board a flight to Porto, Portugal, in preparation for my third Camino de Santiago. This time, I have chosen to walk half of the Camino Portugués, … Continue reading
