Juggle – June 17, 2023

  • Portuguese Central Camino: Day 18/ Caldas de Reis to Patrón
  • Distance: 11.9 miles / Total 219.2 miles
  • Ascent: 934’ / Descent: 950’
  • Time: 5 hours 45 minutes
  • Weather: 66- 78 degrees / overcast becoming blue skies with clouds

My mind juggles between vague memories and outstandingly unforgettable memories from Camino 2022. Those special memories center around people and continue to bring joy.

Last October I was walking before sunrise in the rain. My headlight happened to catch a sign for this café. It was a port in a storm.
Her coffee, butter and jam toast were as good as I remember.
It is said St James began his preaching at this very spot in Patroń. After death his body returned to Patroń on its way to Santiago.
Patroń Cathedral.
Under the alter is the stone which is said to have been used to anchor St James’ boat on his return to Patroń.
Another celebration with Netherlands women.
