Four walking days to go....

We made it to Portomarín. We are less than 100 km to go. Martin loves selfies so I had to include this one. The sign post behind us shows 99,939 m or 99 km to go.


Galicia is a lot like Vancouver or the Gatineau hills. So this is very familiar except the cows on the side of the road.


I miss Avro a lot and I try to make friends with the dogs along the way. This is Lutzy. She is a German dog that seems to know I am missing my dog. She is walking the Camino and you often see her in his owner's lap after a long day.



We are four days from Santiago and I felt I had pulled a muscle in my left calf. It was so painful to walk the last 3 km but I made it. We are staying at the Villamartín Albergue/Hotel so I saw it as a sign for self care and booked a massage. My calf is feeling better and I will do my best to take it easy tomorrow.

Martin reminded me that I have walked over 700 km so far. It's quite amazing and I am so grateful.

Take care everyone and I am less than a week from being home.

See you all soon
Love
