It took Nobody and I 19 days from SJPP to SdC then another 2 days to Fisterra. We set our goal at 2 beers a days. We beat that. It was an enjoyable experience which we hope everyone has a chance to experience.
I made a few changes along the way. I was very happy with what I started out and what I ended up with. I would do this over again same way because not having a heavy load allowed my to go along into the day without getting tired.
What I had on myself ~ 4.60 lbs
1. Passport - This ended up...
Epilogue
Tomorrow, we planned to pay a visit to Saint James the Greater, Spain’s patron saint, to close out this pilgrimage.
We did not walk the Camino to find our way. We had no great expectations. But, we did find something. We found what had always been there. In each of us, there had...

We rested well last night and we’re up and 6:30am this morning. By now, we got our morning routine down. We brushed teeth, got our pack down in less than 15 minutes. As far as breakfast went, we had three tangerines and drank plenty of water. We were out of the door at 7:00am...

We started off the day at 7:30am, just in time for a beautiful sun rise.
But then around 9:30am, the wind blew hard and the dark clouds moved in. We stopped and double-checked to make sure everything were inside plastic bags. The dark clouds hung around for about an hour or so...
Thanks. So far, the weather had been great. We had two washed out days, a few overcast days, and mostly sunny days. We were saving ourselves for some seafoods when we get to SdC.
We wished we had seen that. We sat outside a few time to 7:00pm. But, at 7:00pm, the sun was still up so they probably were still out. We were hoping to see the Spanish longhorns but we were not so lucky that day when we passed the longhorns range.

We had a great night sleeping. Minimal disturbance. We got up at 6:45am. It was strange as everyone in this room was still sleeping. We tried to change and packed as quiet as possible with the light from the window. As we packed, we made a mental note that next time we would...
We started in SJPP on 16Apr. Yesterday was 01May. So that was 17 walking days. We figured 3 days left, four max. Nobody said the paws were fines. Perhaps when we get to Santiago de Compostela, we may decide to go to the Ocean too. We head out now.
Nobody said hello.
Buen Camino

The Albergue El Paso was great. We were able to cook dinner last night and the bed we had was in a remote part of the place. There were about 12 pilgrims there.
We left the albergue at 7:20 am. The morning was pleasant, probably 10 Celsius, with clear sky. We were thinking that...

The bed we had at the Albergue San Nicolás was in a small room, two bunk beds per room. We had two Spaniards taken the lower beds. We were on on of the upper bed. The other was Nien, Chinese Australian. One of the Spaniards got up and went through his stuff all night. It...

We got up at 6:30am, preparing for a day in the mountains. Nobody downed the liter of milk. Sue, the Korean pilgrim, insisted that we take two of her energy candies. We headed out at 7:40am. We circled back the street to see if the Cow Boy Bar was operational per J Wilhaus’s...
