Day Eleven

One word sunflowers! Sunflowers are planted everywhere in patches along the way And their bright sunny faces add a lot of character and fun to the Camino. The second thing I wanted to mention where the footprints what this means to me is when I start to get lost and I cannot find the yellow arrows which guide us along the Camino I look for the footprints and the tracks of the other pilgrims who come before me. Pete, Baby and I arrived in Portomarin today after hiking alongside Oak and Apple trees full of fruit. Quaint little village I am staying in a Pension just above the small town. Started at 115.2KM, finished at 92.8KM to get to Santiago. Did my laundry under a grape orchard today. Amazing to see so many grapes! Baby threw major temper tantrums today, causing me to slip on the decline and twist my left ankle. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger...has been mantra today. Hoping tomorrow brings a lighter feeling Pete and a happier Baby and I continue to hobble to the goal of getting to Santiago or bust ;)
