Walking the Camino

Hello Family and Friends!

Here's a little travel log of my walk on the Camino Portugues with my daughter, Jessica. We left Porto, Portugal on June 5th and arrived in Santiago de Compostela, Spain on June 19. What happened in the between was just oh so special. It was joy to have done it, and to capture the moments, the ups and downs, the chance encounters, the exquisite beauty, the stories, and the spiritual journey to share and to remember.

This was initially “published” as a series of daily WhatsApp messages to my family. They were all good sports and signed up to share the adventure with us. Since then, others have asked to see the pictures and hear the stories. So here we are.

Interested in learning in little about the Camino walk, what it is, and why people do it? There are many websites, often the work of “pilgrims” inspired to share good information about routes, gear, history, etc. with fellow travelers. Here’s a good one: https://www.trafalgar.com/real-word/need-to-know-camino-de-santiago-pilgrimage-route-spain/

I’m going to try and post these as separate articles, one for each day, just as I shared them originally. I think that will make it more accessible. Just know that each day connects to another day and to the journey overall. Let’s see how it plays out :)
