Another beautiful day in paradise
Today was even more beautiful than yesterday---a mild spring day--walking thru woods and avenues of trees and about 10 tiny villages with cobbled streets and often sharing the narrow path with a small number of sheep or cows being ushered somewhere by their owners---and as always the beautiful wildflowers---today a big bright yellow bush like wattle predominated. and on top of all this , views to die for at every step--valleys with villages and riversand as green as green everywhere.Got to Portomarin today---but my feet are really feeling the pressure---23kms today in 6 hours but it seemed a long way--I stopped with a hour to go in a field with lush grass--unpacked and took off shoes--sox---and had a wonderful 3 course lunch. First a delicious, juicy orange. Then a cheese and tomato roll on very crusty bread that I.d saved half of from earlier in the day---then to finish off a few squares of chocolate with almonds--a great lunch in a wonderful location. Saw Danielle and Granya briefly today---otherwise quite solitary--but enjoying being on my own today.The albergue that Im in looks out over a river---stunning views--a nice place to spend a few hours. love to you all. Special XXXXXXXXXXXXX to Mum for Mothers Day---

You're now on the second last map that we have - gosh - so close, but as you said - another 100 or so kms to go. So close and still further to go than any of us may EVER walk at one time.... the countryside sounds just so picturesque.... saw Chanel and Nan and Michele today at Glebe markets - discussed your journey of course - have you lost weight? I expect you have... still a beard? Are many men bearded at this stage of the walk (or women hairylegged)? So so many questions to ask and to talk about when you're home.... love you to bits
Just caught up on Renete's last comments - and I thought I'd pass on that she thought it really capped off her Camino to go to Finisterre (by bus for her - but next time she promises to walk) - maybe you might decide to pop over there for a night? See the ocean? Wouldn't want you to miss out on anything xx
