Another Day – June 13, 2023

  • Portuguese Central Camino: Day 14 / Tui to Porriño
  • Distance: 11 miles / Total 170.3 miles
  • Ascent: 772’ / Descent: 740’
  • Time: 4 hours 45 minutes
  • Weather: 65 – 70 degrees / blue skies with white clouds

Another day of walking in nature. Soft on the feet. Easy on the eyes.

People seem so small in comparison to the forest.
Now it’s become usual to have other pilgrims in sight.
With only “Wonder Bread” and powdery coffee for breakfast, I willingly walked an extra mile to today’s only Café. Boldly I stepped over the closed chain thinking it’s well advertised so surely it is open. Not so. The owner showed me mercy and made the best coffee, fried his hen’s latest egg, and his toasted his neighbor’s homemade bread.
Truly a lovely walk.
My destination is juxtaposition from today’s walk.

    1. Nothing as difficult as Japan. Days are much shorter. Did you walk with an umbrella when you were in Japan? What trip do you have in mind? Thanks for reading the blog. How is Bernie and his wife? Hugs. Linda

  2. How fun Linda to have breakfast at the café – opened only for you! The path along the water is lovely. 2 mile time trials tomorrow as the track workouts return in earnest. Molly #1 off to Paris tonight for a belated honeymoon! So impressed with the daily elevation gains! Best Bill
