#Pontevedra is a beautiful medieval town on the #Camino. It houses many albergues, including a #Parador. I only stayed one night on my #pilgrimage, but perhaps I should have stayed more.

Because we didn't have an extra week in 2010 to walk to Finisterre and back, we took the bus to "the end of the world." There, we spent three days, relaxing and enjoying the town. I'm glad we were able to fit it into our schedule. The walk does look lovely.

No one experiencing the tragedy of a miscarriage should be arrested, much less abandoned in jail for 5 months with a $100k bond. But that’s exactly what happened to Mallori Patrice Strait in Texas. Women, particularly women of color, in this country are no longer allowed dignity even in extreme loss
