Another charming couple we have been running into is Bridget & John, both Germans living in Mallorca. We said goodbye to them yesterday as they are on a time constraint and need to head back home. We have also met Remi from Paris, he walked out of his house 77 days ago and also has just 4 days to go. Then there is a young 20 year old girl from Geneva, Switzerland that has been walking even longer than that! Amazing! We think we've walked along way and then we meet them. Incredible! I will try to get pictures of them today.
We have left the Leon Region of Spain and entered Galicia. There are strong Celtic ties in this region and it is evident by their music which sounds very much like Irish music; bagpipes and all. We have been walking through farm lands with rolling hills and everything is green here. I imagine it looks a lot like the Irish countryside as well. Below are some pictures from our day. Check out the snake that crossed our path and the lizard I found sunbathing.
We head to Palas De Rei in the morning. Only four days to Santiago!
only 4 days to go.wow!!..I am sure it is with mixed feelings you soon well see the end of this amazing journey..
ReplyDeleteSounds like you've met some wonderful new friends. I can imagine that you might be planning your trips...to Germany, Switzerland, France, South Korea? :) I can't believe the end of the journey is drawing near, but I guess that just means it's the beginning of the next one. I wish you much joy as you celebrate your accomplishments in the next few days!
ReplyDeleteI wonder how you were able to manage this blog so nicely with the detailed stories during the Camino.
ReplyDeleteBy walking for 5~8hrs everyday on the road pilgrims should normally be exhausted. So this job wouldn’t be easy. During the journey I and my wife with the 7 students were so happy to find both of you. I don’t still know what would my students learn from the Camino, but can believe they would come to know all the people they met on the road were like more than teachers.
