Camino del Norte Day 13: Güemes to Santander

I arose before the break of dawn to watch the sun paint the sky a symphony of orange and violet and red.

As I was walking through town, I passed a man and his son who respectfully got off the road for me to pass. The son looked up at me in wonder, and I smiled down at him. To him I was a foreign traveler, a stranger, a wanderer.

The wind tossed my loose hair and the grassy tussocks as I stood gazing out over the ocean.
