Camino Frances
In this entry I describe elements of my journey to Palas de Rei, Spain, my first encounters with new friends, and I show photos from my brief bike trip to see a local 14th century castle.
Between September 17 and October 26, 2016, my wife Patty walked the Camino Frances (French Way), which is a 500 mile pilgrimage from St. Jean, France, over the Pyrenees Mountains and across northern Spain to Santiago de Compostela (roughly the driving distance between Washington, DC and Knoxville, TN). I met her on the trail between Palas de Rei and Portomarin, Spain, and I walked with her for the last four days of her journey. From there, we drove to Finisterre, Spain (“The End of the Earth”), and finally we spent a couple of days in Paris, France, before coming home.
