Hobbit-worthy forests so green that they hurt the eyes

Walking through drippy fog on the way into Santiago

My back was hurting badly when I crossed this stream, but I barely remember the pain…only the beauty and feeling of oneness with Nature.

Mom and daughter walk the Camino de Santiago together – here at O Cebreiro Pass

Sometimes it seemed I was walking uphill, both ways

Beautiful, serene countryside lends itself to a meditative trot.

Level ground at last on the Camino!

Nevermind all the treadmill inclines and months of training. Nothing prepared me for going from sea level to this!
