May 22, Tricastella
We got a late start from O’Cebreiro. Late getting up, late breakfast, long breakfast….BY the way…yesterday was an important day as we just broke through the 100 mile Mark. We have 96.4 miles to Santiago de Compostella . We have walked 393.6 miles!
Foggy & Temperatures in low 30s
Scattered patches of snow in the shady areas..That’s me in my heavy weather / Terrorist attire.
..
Here are some photos along the way.
The Mapbook we were following had a mistake of mileage. What was indicated was an easy day of 12 miles. The actual was 16.5 miles. We walked for 8 hours….got in at 7pm.
There’s the Pueblo of Tricastella that we are headed towards. We are up very high with a very steep descent at Vino – 4 1/2 hours.
Ah….a little closer…..Vino – 2 1/4 hours
VINO AT 0 HOURS!








You’re almost there! Almost 400 miles already, wow. Keep it up!

A much deserved food stop, and oh, looks like good wine to top it off.

And to think I was proud I walk 60 miles in the Avon walk…I am in awe of you two.
Continued blessings for a safe and memorable rest of the Camino,

Well, I am totally behind in leaving a comment, but I read your blog daily! As you know, I am on a three week substitute assignment and forgot how little time one has for email when working! I truly can’t believe how many miles you have walked. I can’t help but wonder how you will feel when you are back in Santa Barbara not planning to cover the many miles you cover daily now. I am sure it will feel strange. We know you are praying as you walk. Thank you for remembering so many in your prayers.
Love,
Mar

I just love getting these updates with commentary and pictures! I hope you can gather them all up and get them into a book of some sort after you get home.

OMG you are so skinny, you will be strutting the streets upon your return to SB. I know that there is a big aspect of the contemplative life with your voyage, but, let me get all superficial here. Because that’s the kind of person I am. Looking good, kids !
Okay, p.s. we went to Rocamadour today, a very high location for pilgrimage (in SWFrance, on the Pilgrim Route). and it is a really sacred place, very moving emotionally as one spends time in the chapel where millions of pilgrims have prayed. The place is sacred and very beautiful. I thought of you both many times.
