Barbadelo, Lugo

What a gorgeous morning! Not a cloud in the sky as I made my way down the Camino. Shades of green only interrupted by the purple heather at the higher elevations and the brilliant blue sky.

  
  
   

  

the spanish couples really like matching gear

 

 
It was a perfect walking day, full of interesting vistas and I was thoroughly enjoying myself. I stopped for café con leche and had a lovely chat with some fun Americano amigos. Once I finished, I started back to the road and was just about to cross it to get back on the Camino when this happened:

hey look what’s coming down the road!
the whole herd is going to walk right by me! fun!
wow! so many, and so close too

 

yum, tasty peregrino

 
oof! horns, hooves, stomp, smack…oof!

Well how was I to know I was standing right where they would turn? Ok, in hindsight I did hear the herd dog bark twice and I now know what he said:

“Hey! Dumb ass!”  

“Put down the camera and get out of the way!”  

 

a quick dive into the nettles and i live to walk another day
  
 
my swedish amigos will comfort me
 

my little inn tonight? it’s called “108 to Santiago” — as in kilometers to Santiago!!

  1. Sooooo Close! What an amazing adventure. I’ve absolutely loved reading your posts. I feel like I’m there – without the cows or blisters.

  2. LOL! You are a funny writer! Looks like you have given up on the Albergue’s and staying in little inns now. You sound and look so good and have come such a long way through snow, sleet, rain, wind, sun, heat, cold, etc. etc. and now nearly trampled by cows! What stories you will have to tell. See you soon!
