Two it has two markets I love this town for that and the late lunch that I had it was wonderful I was saying that I slept okay last night um I was in the corner by myself so um slept better than the night before um the night before pretty much

Nothing other than I went to bed early and it was it’s okay like I I keep I keep saying to myself that I’ll sleep at home you know anyway we are leaving Vega Del Val car SE look at it’s just dark the next town it’s not that far

But we are walking on the road which I don’t like that’s the only thing next to the road I’m used to it now yeah but on right on the road can you imagine walking this with thousands of pilgrims in summer okay I seriously do not know how

To say it but I’m going to try throughout land land anyway it’s 7:30 we are doing good but these towns are obviously next to each other okay when I walk out of Vega there a small section that I was freaking out because I thought somebody was following me and

Making um click noise behind me just me so on the Camino I know people say it will change you and stuff like oh okay I get it but it did there’s so many things that I did on a Camino that I would never ever done in

My other life in my my life it totally changed me how course I made mistakes here and there hello hello birdies but but I decided I will forgive myself because no one is perfect I really don’t want to be perfect it will be tough too tough I

Just live I I actually think I live a pretty decent healthy happy life peaceful life I always say CU I mind my own business most time unless somebody um why this town okay I hope that’s new new construction uh but I talk to the local and I always say people have no

Money that’s why sometime the construction has to be stopped which is sad especially especially small small town like this go walk this side I left the car coming I have more room to get away goodbye R Tan Hi I can feel the burn so oh 44 45 my Is man it’s uphill the whole time car’s coming wow haven’t seen cars the whole time oh it those um construction truck or something even though that’s light I leave my head lamps on just so they know I’m standing walking here oh um okay so see and then one more

Okay and we turn around and double check okay it’s a tour bus work truck is a trash truck a garbage truck wow sorry you have to hear the garbage truck but the fog up there in the mountain is so beautiful ah so this is where the the trails Theo place so have to

Choose which way I want to Go and to let gar shut go That’s not this one so we have to go down here anyway why because I don’t want to walk up it’s okay I’m messing around I came prepared today to walk this hill to oo oero yeah I think I Think look just beautiful and peaceful now and they have those marshmallows the gigantic ones like in US farmland I love for for cute town yeah see these type of town I love so when I come back as a volunteer um I will come and stay at all these towns cuz it’s adorable

TRIP DAY 37 | VEGA DE VALCARCE TO O CEBREIRO | CAMINO FRANCES 2023
Filmed on November 15, 2023
Trip Day 37
Camino Frances Day 34
Stayed at Albergue Municipal de O Cebreiro, O Cebreiro, Spain

I’ve walked over 500 miles/800 kilometers (over 1.1 million steps) of Camino Frances from France to Spain. Camino de Santiago Frances is an ancient pilgrim path across the north of the Iberian Peninsula.
✈️ I began my journey on Tuesday, October 10, 2023 from home in Washington State, USA.
🚶‍♀️ Started walking on Friday, October 13, 2023 from Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port, France.
🎒 I arrived in Santiago de Compostela, Spain on Wednesday, November 22, 2023. Took me 41 days. 💕
🌊 I traveled to Muxia, Fisterra, & Cee to see the Atlantic Ocean.
✈️ I arrived back home on Wednesday, November 29, 2023! Total of 51 days.
🏋️‍♀️ I lost over 13 lbs. 👏 Gained a lot of strength & muscle. 💪🦵
This was my longest solo journey to date. Can hardly wait to walk other Camino routes and volunteer my time as a Hospitalora to help my fellow pilgrims along the Camino.
Thank you to my wonderful husband for telling me to go live my dreams of walking the Camino. ❤️
I miss all my Camino friends so much. ❤️
