After 800 KM of walking, a little beach time
Walking the Camino was a reward onto itself, and when we finished, it really was a little hard to stop walking. A part of me was ready to keep going...to map out another destination, put on my backpack and head out for another day of adventure in the unknown. So suddenly, it was a little hard to be "off the Camino," and back to our civilian selves. We were super lucky to have a few days at the beach after our walk to relax and wash our clothes, cook some simple meals, take some easy walks and sit quietly and think about what lies ahead. We were in the tiny villages of Bon, Bueu and Belusa, just north of Vigo, the largest city in Galicia, and the biggest fishing port in Europe. Vigo is only 33 KM north of the border with Portugal. What a beautiful city! The whole area reminded me of being in the San Francisco bay area...only with white sand beaches and an ocean that was SLIGHTLY less cold.
