Many people have no idea what The Camino is that's crossing right through their very own town here in Matosinhos.
I'm glad we got this stamp, even though there was no pomp and ceremony. The surprise was that Abbas said he had an intention for the Camino! He said his intention is to chill. "I will take a chill pill," he said. It made me ponder my intention as I felt whether I was leaning into the flow or not. I'm going to say I do, but I also feel I need more. I'll see what shows up to fill that gap.
After getting the stamp we walked to the starting point to look for the iconic sign - the yellow shell, but it wasn't to be seen, so we asked someone and he said yes go straight and keep walking and walking, he laughed.
That done we headed home at Praia-Mar to rest for the night, stopping in the way to step into a hotel to ask whether they'd help us find a place to rest for tomorrow night. All the places were full, albergues, hostels and hotels are all full, and finally the kind hotel manager found us a single double bed on our route on the Camino. That decided for us how long we will walk tomorrow.
So... our fist leg starts at 24.Km.
Good night.
