Finding Joy – June 8, 2023

  • Portuguese Central Camino: Day 9 / Rates to Barcelos
  • Distance: 16.6 miles / Total 107.5 miles
  • Ascent: 568’ / Descent: 635’
  • Time: 5 hours 15 minutes
  • Weather: 60 – 70 degrees / overcast. Thunderstorms with driving rain. (Poncho no too hot with the wind, no rain pants, soaked shoes)

Find joy. It is easier when the walk returns to Eucalyptus forest and quiet green spaces. Afternoon’s thunderstorm became an opportunity for an unexpected exquisite lunch of roasted octopus.

More pilgrims by bike than by foot. Storm’s a’coming.
Barcelos between rains.
Ask and maybe we can help. Misdirected bag found.
