I absolutely love collecting sea glass and what nice big pieces you have found...what treasures!
I'd give almost anything and happily take the mud, blisters, and bedbugs to be on the Camino right now...... our feet in the mud of the Camina

Awww, I've been to both beaches in Muxia and Finesterre and never thought to scout for sea glass...next time!It was a very good sea glass beach! Others where I found great pieces are Ribeira Beach in Finisterre, the little beach on the harbour in Muxia and the beach near the Torre de Hércules in A Coruña.
I have exactly the same photo, but taken on a dull grey day. Yours is much better!A view across fields to an Iglesia between Vilarino and Sigueiro on the Camino Ingles.
I had an extraordinary night there, when Christine was in charge.Albergue in Villares de Orbigo. When I stayed there fellow Belgian Christine was the owner. The new owner is forummembr @LTfit who is also a true hospitalera.
I had a1959 Renault 4 Door as my very first car at age17. I paid $500. It was a 4 door, engine in the back and the front doors were called suicide doors as they opened opposite of normal... awww, the memories!!Although I'm a Renault 4 (Google it) fan for many years and used to own three of them (yellow, red, blue) I was very happy to see one of Renault 6 in Mota del Cuervo (Levante). Owner told me that his father bought it for him to drive his bride to the wedding. A looong time ago, he added

Unfortunately on that camino, a lot of my photos were very dull too because of the overcast skies we had for most of the walk. This was one of the better mornings. My Australian pal Alan and I were volunteering in the Pilgrim's Office that year and we were 'squeezing' in a walk before we started our stint. A few days later it was sunshine all the way and really high temperatures: within a fews days of that, it was the complete opposite with cold days and rain

I stayed in Valcarlos twice. It was an interesting village, the municipal was fairly new and well spread out. Had a nice dinner nearby at a cafe/pub where many locals were eating...good food.Valcarlos, on the way to Roncesvalles. I walked through without pausing, but it would be a lovely place to spend the night.
I thought Don Quixote was just a fictional character, but here he is..."as large as life".Dulcinea and Don Quixote in El Toboso (Levante):
Actually he wasn't fictional because he was Cervantes alter egoI thought Don Quixote was just a fictional character, but here he is..."as large as life".
Please don't tell me they make it out of lizards.Advert for soap.
Well, there's a picture I won't have to submit. Mine has a larger bouquet of flowers in front. The bouquets are placed there to hide the slaughter of the Moors, a good compromise I think between art, history, and culture and our modern sensibilities.Blessed you St. James
One of many statues of St. James in the Cathedral of Santiago
This photo reminds me of a post (without photo) about a 36 legged horreo seen by a pilgrim some years ago. I read the post shortly after I joined the forum. I concluded that a "horreo" must be a type of bug, to have that many legs. I wondered at the appearance and behaviour of such a creature, since the name suggested that it was "horrid".12 October 2015:
Walking from Santiago to Fisterra, Muxia and back to Santiago. Came across this hórreo at Monasterio San Martiño de Ozón. There were quite a few people staying there commune style at the time. They were from all parts and were working to restore part of the monastery. Apparently the hórreo was also occupied occasionally

It is said to be the longest horreo in Galicia as I remember. I have a photo of it too but as I was coming from Santiago it was taken from the other side. I already posted that one photo for today12 October 2015:

When Franco's Moroccan civil war general Mohammed bin Mizzian was appointed Capitán General of Galicia in 1953, the cathedral authorities thought it would be tactful to remove the statue altogether in case it upset him. You can buy postcards of the work without the concealing flowers, and it really is unpleasantl;y gory.Well, there's a picture I won't have to submit. Mine has a larger bouquet of flowers in front.

Such an interesting photo, seemingly cut in half, between dark shadow and sunshine.Early evening detail from Toro (Levante, 2015)
I too, thought I would be "one and done"...Now I must wait patiently for number six.At the time I thought I would only walk that one camino and wanted to record everything.)
They've graduated from black dogs.The welcome committee in Foncebadón.
His name of course being Oatie
She excite me tooNot a very clear picture. Ermita de Nosa Señora das Neves. In between Hospital and Cee. Usually not someone who takes a rest longer than ten minutes but here I stayed a bit longer.
You speak for all of us, but with better poetry, Alan.Looks like I won't be seeing them again this year, sadly:
I had a different photo picked out for today, but when I saw one posted taken on October 4, I had to pick out my own taken on October 4 (2018) posing in a vineyard with what I like to think of as a birthday present. As many freshly picked grapes as we could carry, shared at the end of the day with fellow pilgrims in Casa da Fernanda.Camino Frances- 4th, October, 2014 Posted today 25th, July, 2020 in memory of the Feast of St James.
