Out of the woods, back on the trail

April 6th. Short note today. Another good walk today. About 14-15 miles. The walk didn’t compare to the magical walks I had the last two days, but was pleasent, mostly rural with lots of farm fields and their associated manure smells. The weather was perfect. I had a great dinner with friends tonight. Galacia is known for their octopus dinners and we’ve been having it every night for dinner. It’s braised with olive oil and paprika. It’s delicious. It’s another long-ish walk tomorrow 17 miles. We’re getting closer by the day. I’m currently flying out of Santiago on May 12, to Paris. I’m staying with friends in Paris that night and flying back to Boston on the 13th. Hard to believe that a week from now, I’ll be home. I’m in the final stretch.
