💭 Day 10 Thoughts:
We feared the rain in the morning, but it turned out to be a pleasant surprise. We walked through a forest, and it was the nicest morning walk of the camino. We ended up in Vilanova with a few glasses of wine and the best seafood dinner while watching the sunset. The Camino provides.
Bom caminho/buen camino,

Very insightful about rain, love it. What an amazing journey. Hope it doesn’t end so we can get more video LOL. Well done Mr. David! 👍🥾
Amazing sunset. The colors!!! And you are so correct. The rain can be so peaceful.
Let it rain. Brought a tear to my eye. Yes let it rain.
Que hermoso, que hermosas palabras David, se mojaron un poco 🥺, pero forma parte del viaje, gracias, gracias, gracias por tanto amigo….. Buen camino 🤗🤗🤗
I’m so glad you are uploading the rest of the videos, awesome! Been waiting
Your cinematography is excellent, David! All that lush greenery, spectacular cloud formations, delicate rings of rain droplets on the water surface, stunning colours of the sunset etc – really enjoyable. Rain during a hike is likely to cause wet hikers and wet gear, but the rain will always end. What would the scenery be like without any rain? A desert?
