Kate here! We have offically been doing this camino thing for 21 days and we have 8 days left to walk. It feels weird to think of not getting up early and walking for 6 to 8 hours a day. It will be a welcomed change, though. I love the camino but it is not an easy way to live.
Yesterday we walked 21km to Ribadeo. This signaled our last day walking on the coast. We had lunch on the beach and watched a guy catch an octopus!
A nice view for lunchWe also passed from the region of Asturias to Galicia. Each region in Spain has its own culture and sometimes its own language. I am excited to see what Galicia has to offer.
Big cloud bank. Luckly, we didn’t get rained on
Today we walked 27km to Lourenzá. We hiked up a big ol’ mountain today but there is an even bigger one tomorrow.
Rolling hills of GaliciaThe towns we are going through for the next few days are much smaller so we need to make sure to bring food with us just in case.
Tomorrow we climb one of those mountainsOverall, I feel good. My body can do this. The camino has turned into a mental game now. Every morning I wake up and think “can I do this again?”. The answer sometimes is not very cheery but it is always yes. Here is to 8 more days of yes.
