Camino Portugues - Seven months to go

Here we go again.

El Camino de Santiago was such an amazing experience that we want to try again.  Initial plan calls for El Camino Portugues starting in Liboa.  We plan to stop at Fatima to visit the shrine of our Lady Mary and from there to Porto, Tui and Santiago de Compostela.  This will probably take place in May/June next year.

Both of us have new boots to replace the ones we wore out in El Camino and I got a new backpack that fits better than the old one and we probbaly will have to replace a few more items.  We feel out of shape since we have not been able to walk in the last couple of months much but we still have time (although winter is coming).

Our health has been up and down but we cannot complain, we still can walk.  When we walk next year I will be almost 72 years old but this time we will have the experience and El Camino Portugues is shorter, only 615 Km, and is easier, not as many mountains to climb.  Besides, Wonder Woman will be at my side to pick up the pieces every time I fall.

So Santiago de Compostela here we come.



Santiago, St James, pary for us.
