I was going to make the same suggestion, and also add that maybe you could drop some subtle hints to people who haven't yet gotten together to make an appropriate gift.
My wife and I are walking the Camino for my 50th birthday- though today is their birthday, 45. I’m starting this late after walking yesterday from Porto to Labruge. We landed at the municipal, soggy and tired, the last 900 meters a slog, but...
Day 14
Combarro - Os Castaños, 16.4 KM (that felt like 25)
8:40 - 17:20
Including a 90 minute break for lunch and 30 minutes to soak our feet
Highest temp while walking: ~65° F
Today was a really rough day, emotionally and physically...
I haven’t been, but I probably should and give back, thank you for the prodding. We are in Vila do Conde today, it’s my wife’s birthday so since the rain stopped we decided to hang on the beach and go over to Rates tomorrow.
Thank you so much for your posts, they are a bit of a guide for us as we begin. Today we too walked in the rain, from Porto to Labruge… was kind of nice to have the beach/coast to ourselves.
Hello - we have a Live from the Camino thread over in the Portuguese Coastal forum, since that's where we started our trek. But we recently veered onto the Variante Espiritual from
the Central. If you're interested, you can find it here...
