Day 38 Portomarin

Today is going to be a long slog we have 16.5 miles.

And, it was a long slog, indeed. We first went through Sarria. Sarria is the place where pilgrims can start the Camino and complete it by doing the minimum distance. A lot of people start here. You can tell a new pilgrim by the new shoes and clean clothes. The sunny demeanor is also a dead giveaway. They also take lots of pictures. There were so many people that it was like walking down a busy city street.  It was fun to watch Tina breeze past pilgrims that were struggling with the hills.

Not many comments today as it was a long tough one for both of us.

The Galician countryside is beautiful and even at the end of a long hike day, it did not go unnoticed,
