Summary

Our two intrepid adventurers have been on the trail for six days and have fallen a day behind schedule. They have sustained injuries, aches, and pains but continue westward towards Santiago.

 

 

They have met fellow travelers, shared meals with others, and spent time together over a few beers, red wine, and brandy. They even met up with their very own ghost. 

 

 

This trail isn't the walk in the park that some people seem to believe. The miles still need to be hiked, and the climbs and descents need to be tackled.

 

 

On the way, Steve and Emma have met pilgrim after pilgrim and this time, one such pilgrim shares his family's story. If you'd like to learn more about Kelley and his family, follow their blog at wander4purpose.com or follow them on Instagram at the same name.
