30 September 2023, Camino 3, Day 31
Sarria to Portomarin
Today was everything I expected and more.
There were all sorts of groups of people. Groups of men being loud, teenagers sitting on the roadside texting, and more. And when I say more I mean something more interesting possibly. There is a group of men traveling in matching shirts. Yesterday they were orange and today they were blue. This evening I noticed they were pink.
The thing I found most curious was the design on their shirts.
Their t-shirts all have St. James on the front in black and white stripes.
I have heard of low level prisoners being given the option of walking the camino instead of prison time because the Camino is a life altering event. I certainly believe it has an impact on my life but never considered it might be used to rehabilitate criminals. Perhaps our own judicial system should consider something like this. Perhaps
It was a beautiful walk today.
I’ll have to add my stamps tomorrow as I forgot to photograph them 😢
Buen Camino
