Welcome to Spain I continue your journey with you and am happy "we" made it safely to Spain! Thanks for your dedication to journaling and picture taking. You are doing an awesome job.
Lifting Bridge I assume that means a draw bridge. And you made it over before it had to draw. The colors of the fishermen sheds remind me of the colorful houses in Aruba. Glad you are doping so well on your Camino.
We prayed again for you this past weekend at all four services! Vaya con Dios good friends.
Lifting bridge A lifting bridge the entire span goes up where a draw bridge opens from one or both sides and generally there is no overhead clearance to worry about.
Enjoying your Posts Love all the amazing blue Portugese Azueljo tiles along your way.
Karen, happy to see you are feeling better and have been able to do some of the walking.
Especially glad to see you also finding alternative transportation at times to conserve your energy.
The extra rest seems to be serving you well...and the bonus is ..... you're had extra time to explore the towns & museums along the way.
That bonus extends to us - your friends and readers - we get to see and hear more about the Pilgrim route from all angles.
Love all the 'pilgrim angels' and their stories. Tell Harlan we are getting a good sense of all the ups and downs and quality underfoot...as he and Jo walk every step of the way. I'm following Jo's blog too.
Loved all the festive umbrellas......and the brightly colored steps. The wildly colored pole had special influences as I see you and Jo were just about to do a pole dance right then and there. Keep the blogs coming! We look forward to them even if we don't write back.
29 August 2016 I'm so sorry that Karen is not feeling well on this pilgrimage. She is a brave traveler to be catching trains and ending up in the right spot! A shared delicious coconut pie must help soothe things a little!

Food in Portugal The food pictures always make my mouth water -- looks delicious and so much too! Have you had any Mateus? I may have spelled it wrong but I know this wine comes from Portugal. Enjoy and glad Karen is feeling better -- I mean I prayed for you two and blessed you onto this journey so I'm somwhat responsible. Continued great travel mercies and Godspeed ahead!
Harlan's Bony Fish Harlan's fish looks exactly like the fish we were served near the Sea of Galilee called St. Peter Fish. It too was very bony but delicious! Blessings and I hope Karen is feeling much better. May cooler days be ahead and soon.
Karen's health issues We (Ann and I) are praying daily for both you on the Camino and especially for Karen's good health and soon! Love and Blessings to you experienced travelers making yet another historic faith journey. Glory to the great Physician as He heals Karen -- Portuguese health care seems to be working and they will wait for the payment??? Test this out in the USA.
August 27, Saturday entry Your day sounds difficult.
Today here is September 7 and I hope things there are flowing better! I received Karen's kind postcard from Fatima. Thanks so much!
August 25 It must have been a terrible feeling to be separated. You two managed the challenge quite well. I like Karen's "Don't talk for five minutes" rule!
Buen camino from Iowa! We eagerly look forward to reading about your adventures! Sounds like there are some challenges compared to Camino Frances. Thinking about you and praying for your good health and a safe trip!
Thanks for the stories and great pictures!
Nightmare Ouch what a bad experience on the trail for you all. Then to have bad fish!!!!
Labor Day Weekend lots of pool and fun family time.
Just back from Fenway Park this week and Fargo for football next week
Thinking of you all
Thanks for sharing! No way to anticipate all the glitches. Yet so rewarding to hear about helpful persons all over the world. My beautician recently returned from pilgrimage to sites in Portugal, but not the Camino. Wish I could massage your feet!
Vibes from SCA So good to see you on the Camino. Hope you liked Lisbon as much as we did a few years ago and glad you got to experience the FADO music. Harlan and Jo's day trip to Cascais and Sintra brought back some beautiful memories from our travels there. Karen I was glad to see you including some museums and sights in your extra rest days. Hope it gave you the time you needed to refresh and re-vibe so you will enjoy all the amazing people and experiences along your Portuguese Camino route.
If it is not the destination but the journey; then why can you not get a ticket to travel, unless you have the name of a place, to where you are going?
