Not wanting to end the day with exhaustion and sore feet, I used a baggage service. It was easy enough to purchasing a $4 zipper cloth bag for the nonessential. I’ve risen to a new standard. Happy feet!

You are really pulling out all the stops for a very long pilgrimage

Please, it’s simply a long walk. There are other versions of the Santiago de Compostelle that begin in Poland, Germany, Italy. It can begin from your front door in California. What’s nice is you finish the day with a place to sleep, a restaurant, and maybe a grocery store. Kinda like the Pacific Crest with convenience. ~linda

Great note. See. Trying new experiences. I just point to food and chow down. I try different routing (not Camino way) based on GPS mapping. Sometimes short cuts. Sometimes winding on city streets. I’m pleased you are enjoying the blog. Are you still planning to do another Camino? ~linda

I am hoping to do the Porto to Santiago someday. Maybe next September/October. However, will be taking my time and only doing maybe 15 km (10 miles) a day, so I can explore things along the way and enjoy the culture.

Terrific. Might I suggest the Central Route as it has more and closer accommodations, markets, and restaurants. ~linda

Many thanks for taking the time to read my daily memories. Writing takes time but it gives me a bit of distance to recollect the day. I kinda go into my shell and write. A private space in a public setting. ❤️~linda
