To me, this is my favorite part of the Camino--- my family. I wanted to take a moment to introduce you to them, as they are now a part of me. This is by no means everyone I befriended, mainly because that would take ages to write! Never in my life did I imagine I would… Continue reading My Camino Family

Day 38: Finisterre to Muxia (31km/19.2miles)
April 30, 2017 Today started slowly, very slowly. I woke up at 9am since I was only going to hike 13.5km. I wanted to stretch out my last day of hiking, I didn't want it to end! So I said I would stop halfway between Finisterre and Muxia, in As Lires. As you can tell… Continue reading Day 38: Finisterre to Muxia (31km/19.2miles)
Day 37: Olveiroa to Finisterre (37.8km/23.5miles)
April 29, 2017 The hike to Finisterre started early, I was able to get started at 7am, which meant I got to see the sunrise 😍 The whole day felt surreal. As I walked, the Camino sign posts kept going down and down. Obviously that's how it works- when you walk, the distance goes down.… Continue reading Day 37: Olveiroa to Finisterre (37.8km/23.5miles)
Day 36: Negreira to Olveiroa (33.3km/ 20.7 miles)
April 28, 2017 Thankfully I slept really well, maybe too well. I didn't want to wake up! I managed to emerge from bed around 7am and got some breakfast. I started my long day at 8am. I was in better spirits, most likely due to a good night of sleep. I find I get stuck in my… Continue reading Day 36: Negreira to Olveiroa (33.3km/ 20.7 miles)
Day 35: Santiago to Negreira (21.9 km/ 13.6 miles)
April 27, 2017 This was a tough day. I realize I have started MANY blog posts that way, but truly this was the hardest of goodbyes. I've said goodbye to my Camino friends before but this felt different. This felt more permanent. I started my day at 9:30ish. Woke up slowly and even took a… Continue reading Day 35: Santiago to Negreira (21.9 km/ 13.6 miles)
Day 34: Arca to SANTIAGO!!! (20k/12.4mi)
April 26, 2017 Today was incredible. The hike, the scenery, the people, the city, the mass, everything. It was everything I thought it would be and more. You know that feeling when you take a perfect bite of food? Like when you take a bite of the center of a sandwich with ample yumminess? Well… Continue reading Day 34: Arca to SANTIAGO!!! (20k/12.4mi)
Day 33: Melide to Arca/ O Pedrouzo (33km/20.5 mi)
April 25, 2017 What. A. Long. Day. Thankfully I began my day on time, again! Started hiking right at 7am (okay, technically 7:04 but who is counting, haha!) I started slowly. My body felt stiff as a board. I didn't stretch the night before and boy did I feel it. I wanted to take advantage… Continue reading Day 33: Melide to Arca/ O Pedrouzo (33km/20.5 mi)
Day 32: Ventas to Melide (26.7km/16.6 miles)
April 24, 2017 I actually managed to wake up on time and leave on time today! I was hiking by 7am. It was such an easier day, and not as hot. All around a smooth day. Since O Cebriero I have hiked the majority of the day alone. And today was no exception. Since I… Continue reading Day 32: Ventas to Melide (26.7km/16.6 miles)
Day 31: Barbadelo to Ventas (31.2 km/19.38 miles)
April 23, 2017 Another day that didn't go as planned, but it taught me to never underestimate myself. I was only supposed to go 29.5km (only, ha!) but it turns out the town at 29.5km didn't have any food so had to go an additional 1.7km. Having dinner is kinda a big deal after hiking… Continue reading Day 31: Barbadelo to Ventas (31.2 km/19.38 miles)
Day 30: Triacastela to Barbadelo (26.7km/ 16.7 mi)
April 22, 2017 Today did not go as planned at ALL. First of all, there were 2 routes to get to Barbadelo, one being 6.5km longer. I was planning on doing the shorter route but alas, I accidentally went the other way. This was the first of two big "mistakes." I put it in quotes… Continue reading Day 30: Triacastela to Barbadelo (26.7km/ 16.7 mi)
