Another long day. It took us 7.5 miles to reach Palas de Rei only to discover our hotel was not in town but a rural location about 5.5 miles north of town. We walked in the rain the last half hour to reach Palas de Rei and were not happy to discover our hotel was not nearby. As we rode in the taxi we decided we would just collect our bags, which had been delivered by the service earlier in the day, and go back into town and get a room. When we arrived at Casa Cam...

It probably should now be Kendall & Jim walk. It took 7 hours to walk the 14.5 miles from Sarria to Portomarian and we stopped about a half hour for lunch. Our time wasn't bad and it was hilly. The "newbie," as Esther referred to Jim, did just fine. He walked ahead of me most of the day. And, five minutes after arriving at our hotel he was sound asleep! It took me about 4 days to really get conditioned to walking so long. It was a challenging walk. Much o...

We drove from Burgos to Lugo today, returned the rental car and took a taxi the +-30 miles to Sarria. We had pre-booked a room in a nice B&B (maybe). After arriving we set out to find the laundry mat so we could begin tomorrow all fresh and clean. The commercial washing machines I've used in Spain automatically add the detergent. How cool is that?! Well, unless you're allergic... We will have dinner and turn in early so we can begin our day bright and...

Wow, too bad not to have time to explore Burgos. It's a beautiful city with wide tree-lined pedestrian paths and a river running thru. It's raining and not a good day to be walking. It feels like maybe I've developed some blisters between my toes. Happy to be wearing sandals today.

Omg! I just ate nearly a half a bag of potato chips!! Well it wasn't a family sized bag. It was something between a single serving size and family size bag. My feet are so tired. The walk today was longer than I thought - maybe a mile and a half or two more. And, they were hard miles. Not really hilly but just long. I arrived at the hotel approx 1 minute before Jim walked into the lobby. What are the odds of that? I'd walked 7.5 hours and he drove 2.5 hours fr...
