Making the move: Lugo to Barcelona

We went ahead and decided to make the big move back to Barcelona. It was another train adventure most of the day. The speedy trains had us moving on at 184 mph. alot of blurry pictures from train windows. Portugal off in the distance, snow on the mountains and different

No alarm clock and no plans. We did walk to the local park and the bus station. Watched church on YouTube, watched the Hogs play basketball and keep up with the Lady Razorback softball game. We did watch basketball, listen to baseball and keep up with softball games yesterday evening

Camino Dia 5: Buen Camino!

Today was a good day for a hike. About 10 miles from Palas de Rei to Melide. Buen Camino! is a greeting that is passed on to pilgrims. It is the most heard phrase on the trail. “Buen Camino” literally means good road, but it can also mean good path,

Camino Day 4: Sprinkling All the Way

Today, we had our first negative elevation day. Started with a nice uphill for a warm up and stretch those tight calves. We planned for rain (Pack covers and rain jackets on). Nothing at the first of the walk but the sprinkles did move in. It was not bad. At

Made it to Sarria finally!

We took the last bus out of Monforte de Lemos and arrived safely in Sarria. We missed two trains but are happy to be here and checked in our room. Nothing open for dinner. So, it’s trail mix and cookies for dinner. Blame it all on the full moon.
