The walking has begun.

Again, a short entry.

There is so much the we would like to elaborate on yet our day has run late yet again.  Quickly putting this out there 10:30 at night, half an hour after we should have been in bed.
Tina and I took her time walking down the river out of Porto this morning.  the spike the books saying otherwise it was a very beautiful walk and very pleasant.  We stopped several times at various places to get little snacks along the way. We did have one slight run-in with a group of kids on bicycles running around slapping people on the head.  that's amazing no matter how many kids in the group as soon as they're confronted they turn into all chickens and run. that was probably a good thing for them because I was already thinking of ways to use their bicycles against them. On our first day out we pushed 26 + km mostly because the last place that we had to stay was not very inviting and in a very noisy busy road. we decided to push on the extra kilometers to a campground that allows pilgrims to rent bungalows. 28 year old got us a cute little Bungalow with a bath in the shower in it.
Splurged on the tourist menu and had a pretty good meal and was introduced to sobromesa, a regional drink of choice.
When we got a good Wi-Fi and get the pictures backed up will share those and they can pretty much speak for the Day's Journey.
there is so much more we would like to get into but alas we are out of time for the day.  Suffice it to say we're having a really good time face a few challenges already overcame them and looking forward to the rest of our journey.

P S. taking this leg of the coastal route was very beneficial there a Pilgrim's Everywhere by the account of one bar at least 200 Pilgrims go by his establishment everyday. We are certainly in Good Company.
