The Mount of Joy. ‘Bout though I’d never see it. Was told it was 20k, thought 22k, was 24k! But it is the last time I’ll see anything over 20k for a loooooooong while.😁😁😀😁😀😁😁 No wifi here. Super basic municipal Albergue. More tomorrow!

I’m about 17k outside of Santiago and about 12k front Monte de Goza. Stopped for big lunch.

Last long day on the Camino. Decided not to go all the way to Santiago today so as to arrive fresh and early tomorrow. Tonight I’ll stay at Monte de Goza, a huge hostel of like 500 beds created one Holy Year for Catholic youth to stay in for a conference. Should be quite a… Read More Salceda Morning Report

I’ve really had to deal a lot with NOT judging people today. Some pass me in nearly new tennis shoes. Some pass me with NO bags at all, holding hands (kind of sweet, but still NO bags-none!).

Weird morning in the heights of As Seixas Galicia. Was note entranced by a seemingly purple witch. More on that later.  I’m safely resting outside of Melide before I make it to Boente for the night.

The Albergue here serves paella for dinner, and it was delicious. I was at a table with Austrian, Australian, French, Italian and Spanish people–quite the attempt at communication. Headed to Boente tomorrow, 25k. If all goes well, I’ll have one more night around Pedrouza and then SANTIAGO!!!!!
