1453 km hiked, less than 100km to go! It doesn’t seem real yet. I only have three days left of my adventure.
The trails are packed with raucous, joyful pilgrims fulfilling the 100km requirement to qualify for their Compostela certificate. It’s a pedestrian party that includes huge school groups of teenagers with chaperones and even a Taiwanese YouTube crew filming for a series.
I sometimes escape the chaos by taking alternative trails called Complementarios. They’re longer, but often quieter. Horreros, beautiful grain storage buildings, stand beside farmers’ fields and homes.
I was so pleased to hike into lovely Portomarín yesterday with Natalie and Justin from Australia, two of my favorite Camino buddies.
Highlight of today:
Meeting the same blind chapel host I met two years ago, a grumpy charmer. He gave me three stamps for my credential.
The weather is lovely and I’m feeling strong. My next blog post will be from Santiago de Compostela. 🇪🇸🥾❤️
It’s been unseasonably warm link in Japan, and link that was never more apparent than when we made our way to the roof of Seiko House Ginza to see the famous clock. It’s just a shame that Godzilla really seems to have it in for the clock and keeps knocking it down. As the sun beat down, we grabbed a few quick link photos before retreating to more air-conditioned venues.

Excelente! 🙌 🥂 ✨
The change in tone is a bit shocking to the system. Glad to hear that you are still finding reverence and joy. Please give Justin and Natalie a high five for me 🙌🏼
