I got a pretty good night’s sleep last night and was on the road by 6:45 AM. It was a little chilly but that makes for good brisk walking weather.
This is a little village about 8 kilometers outside Pontevedra.
It was a beautiful bluebird day.I am trying to work on the framing and lighting on the photographs.I am especially proud this shot.We are now walking along the coast. I did this same stage when I did the Coastal Camino a couple of weeks ago.Another shot of the ocean.
After about two hours I ran into Hillary from Atlanta and Marco from Italy. I met them at the Alburgue Ninho near the beginning of the Central Portuguese Camino. We spent the rest of the morning walking and talking and I so much enjoyed our conversation that I forgot to take any other pictures.
I am now in Pontevedra at Hostel Charino. It is brand new and it is great.
This is Julio. He owns the hostel. After I took a shower in the brand new bathroom that has a rainforest shower head and a shampoo and body wash dispenser I dried off with my luxurious complimentary towel and Julio grabbed my dirty clothes and said that he would wash them for free! Understand that the stench from my hiking clothes at the end of the day would knock a buzzard off a garbage truck. The stench didn’t seem to faze Julio and an hour later he delivered my clothes clean and dry and folded. I was so happy that I cried tears of joy!
This is my dinner.
Smashburger with goat cheese and fries. It was great.
I met this group after I had dinner. I have been running into them on and off for days.
On the right are Marco and Hillary.
That’s it from Pontevedra. I hope you are having a great day wherever you are.
I've been retired from the Union Pacific Railroad since 2017. I've been planning to walk the Camino for about 6 months and can't wait to get started.
