To err is human, to forgive, divine. - Alexander Pope
The last few days have been a walk in the park. The reason why is conditions are perfect ... weather in the 60's, a little uphill but mostly gradual downhill, soft terrain and incredible views.
As advertised, many new pilgrims have joined The Camino because Sarria is roughly 100 kilometers from Santiago and that's the minimum ground you must cover to earn your certificate. The Camino Frances, which is what we are doing, is 789.1 kilometers or 500 miles. We don't mind the newbies because they are fun to talk to and they ask for advice.
This afternoon in PortoMarin was special as we all gathered in the sun near the church and we know our journey is near the end ... Kelly, Lola, Patricia, Roger, Steven, Paul, Jesse, Jennifer, Fabiola, Nicolo, Kathy, Sandy and many more. We have been together for weeks now and there's a definite bond for a lifetime.
Life is short, but you can make your days long if you live in the moment!

Lovely message. I can't imagine the emotions that you are experiencing as you finish hiking "The Way". Miss you and can't wait to see you and catch up!
