Haha, every single morning on the Camino!! Loving your latest Camino videos, make sure you get that muy importante cerveza in manana!! Buen Camino!! 🚶♀️🚶✌️
And I’m caught up! 💗 Andrea- what a complete inspiration you are, knowing how you struggled with your injury the rest of the way. Also, in case I forget to mention this at the end of these videos - thank you for taking all these pictures and wonderful video, And Then - taking all the time to create these fantastic vlogs! I researched the CF for 4 years (by accident, because we were supposed to go in 2020). I have read so many blogs and watched hundreds and hundreds of videos. Yours are so informative and show the walk so beautifully; just what someone wants to see who is doing research. (There are many where the pilgrim just talks to the camera and doesn’t really show us the path or the towns 🙄) And I absolutely love how you and Andre have enjoyed every single experience on your journey. Truly inspirational. Be proud of all you accomplished and are sharing with all of us. ❤. Thank you. Thank you
Thank you so much!! 💗 I'm proud of you too!! It's quite a journey!! I agree, so many vlogs never showed me where they stayed, what the town was like, etc. So, I really wanted to highlight things I would want to see myself..thanks for noticing that. 🥰 Still a few more to go, but getting closer!! 🚶♀️🚶
Heading into Portomarin, there is a third option, even more to the left, that takes you on a much more gradual descent along the road. I took that route because I had knee issues.
The intro to your vlog brought back bad memories. Upon leaving Sarria, I suffered a couple days of depression. Our beloved, peaceful Camino was taken over by imposters. The Camino was turned into a Disney vacation. My German friend, who had completed five Caminos, calls them Camino Tourists. I suffered. We suffered. A dozen of us got drunk in Palas de Rei and we were angry, sad, disappointed, frustrated. One of our group said: "The Camino challenges us physically and mentally. Maybe this is just another bloody test." We thought about that, shrugged our shoulders, and drank more beer. It sounds like you guys were affected as well. Sorry to sound so negative, but this was a huge bad turn in our moods and outlook. I think if the powers that be increased the Compostela minimum distance to 300km instead of 100 km, this nonsense would all go away. But maybe, just maybe, is this the effect they want? A massive population arriving every day? Anyway, the 100 km mark was epic! Three of us bought beers a kilometre before the marker at a corner store, then cracked them open in celebration of our 700 km accomplishment. I will never forget that moment. I finished my Camino on this day, July 2nd. It's too bad we weren't a little closer together at the finish line. Cheers guys
I so wish we would've met you on the trail Mark, though we did cross paths a few times..so close!! You were much faster than us though. Yes, this day sucked the energy right out of me. I felt "let down" because I really thought having more people on the trail would be energizing. I heard a few people call them terrigrinnos (sp?) = Tourist Pilgrims. We missed our pilgrim family and felt very out of sorts on this day. I finally had to tune out the negative thoughts and realized that they too are on a journey, and to not let it affect ours or us to affect their journey.. though at times I wanted to blurt out how far and long we'd been walking, like somehow we were more deserving..but yes, this day I was feeling very let down and depression kicked in. I wonder if many pilgrims who started like us also felt these same emotions. And to think, on this day of our sadness, you were celebrating in Santiago De Compostela!! That makes my memories of this day a bit brighter. Thank you for sharing that!! 🚶♀️🚶
Beer for breakfast! We can definitely hang with you guys!

At 8:35 - Beware The Left Path To Portomarin. REALLY ROUGH - Shorter But ROUGH !!!
We learned the hard way..
Michael Jackson happens to be a "beer hunter", who was checking every bar to see that the "Estrella Galicia" was served in a proper way!
We also heard that there is a belief among some people that Michael Jackson is still alive, like Elvis, and he is the one who created these ‘tags’
