One Year Ago: Finding our Groove
(from my journal)
Portomarín
28 April
So many pilgrims now.
That sentence was, in fact, my entire journal entry for today.
Starting in Sarria, the number of pilgrims on the Way increases by tenfold. I saw more pilgrims today than I probably had on the entirety of the Camino so far.
So there were new challenges. Chief among them were: dodging pilgrims, working out a new pilgrim-passing etiquette, and getting ahead of the large German tour group so that when we came to a bar it hadn’t been completely cleaned out.
As for the walk, I’ll let the photos tell the story. Spoiler alert: it rained.
Starting out in Sarria.
