Camino Photo of the Day: Fording the Stream

Finally, we reached a place where the water was covering the Camino to a depth guaranteed to soak through your hiking shoes.

It gets much deeper further on.

Somewhere, Francine has a video of me making this crossing. Next to me is a German couple pushing a stroller. They’re wearing knee-high leather boots, and they didn’t even slow down for the water.
