Today, we took a shorter day. During our manageable and painless 14km, we still encountered beautiful sights and wildlife.
We stopped in Vilalba to stay at a beautiful alburgue that opened only 2 months ago.
During this last week, we are extending our spiritual practices as we prepare for the end of our pilgrimage. The last time I walked the Camino (just the last 100km of the Frances) was about ten years ago, so I decided, during the last ten days of my walk this time around, to carry out an examen of one of those years each day. Walking through the past ten years day by day has been a powerful experience. So far, it has both called my attention to the many blessings in my life and illuminated those areas I need to work on to be a better disciple of Jesus.
We’re back to a regular pace tomorrow, when we reach the final 100km mark!
