Lavacolla

Completed 20 miles today. Walked with some old and some new amazing pilgrims.

“Lavacolla” means “wash your scrotum” in Spanish as the nearby river by that name was the last place on the Camino for Pilgrims to wash themselves before arriving at the Cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.

I could go so many places with this but I will refrain.

I am only 6 miles out from Santiago now so by the time my US friends read this I will hopefully be there.

Thanks to everybody for their support and encouragement!

First mention of Santiago getting close.
Look hard and you will see the little statue of Mary
Much of the walk today
Big pineapple
Little peace of heaven
Shoes are plant pots
Bring it on.
(What’s the Story) Morning Glory?
A dog and a chicken
Morning talk.
