Preparing to head home has been a busy time. Trying to get all of Guapo’s paperwork to fly was exhaustive. Madrid is a beautoful city, but I think I speak for both Rachel and myself when I say that we ae ready to head home.
If anyone has any questions about the trip (there is much that i omotted from this blog, I prefer to share information via conversation, but just public blog posts) please come ask!
Thank you all for helping me with this adventure in Spain.

Bus from fisterra to madrid – monday may 30
Leaving on bus to madrid today at 8:20 am. Im going to miss fisterra and the incredible people we have met here.
Rachel and I booked an airbnb in Madrid for our last week in Spain while we get all of our new puppy (guapo’s) paperwork together. Needless to day, international adoptions are not the most simple or affordable ways to adopt.
Im in fisterra
I will remain in fisterra. I will be here for a long time. Fisterra is where Rachel and I will be waiting with Guapo. We made it.
If the college has any questions as to where i am, the answer is fisterra

Hunter Saturday
In pala de rei hoping to get to santiago on the 11 or 12th.
Rained yesterday, but today wasnt too bad. We have been walking with a new friend, learning more about Europe than I had ever hoped.
Hunter – friday
No wifi last night. Made it to portomarin for lunch, will continue after a good old fashioned hamburger!
Crossed the 100km mark today. Santiago seems to be just one or two hills away!

Hunter – wednesday
Just realized some of my posts this last week didnt post. Will update it soon.
Started on ocebrero yesterday and walked to triacastela barefoot. I set up the tent in thebwoods with Rachel and we prepared to camp arournd 3. Around 7:30 we decided to pack up and walk more. We took the san xil route over the hill just in time to see the sun set over Sarria. Long story short; we were confronted by dogs, enjoyed the peace in being the only ones on the road, were gifted with an undistorted view of the stars at night, and we walked the 20km to Sarria by midnight.
Spent a few days in the mountains last week. Ill write some posts about the experience.
Buen camino, pilgrims.
Peace, love, forever.
Hunter – Wednesday
Fell asleep in the woods before Rabanal del Camino. I woke up to the birds singing the sun over the mountain and sat silently in the moderate confort of my sleeping bag, waiting for the sun to warm the earth again. It was cold, but what else on the Camino isn’t? It was free, minus the cost of the tent and tarp. Rschel and I were free to talk openly, and not worry about disturbing other pilgrims. And possibly the best part, no half-naked snoring old men.
Hunter – tuesday
Leaving el Ganso and heading to the woods. Going to find a nice place to set up camp.
