    Camino ’24: Day 4

    Yesterday I went to buy groceries while hungry. That was a mistake I paid dearly today. My bag was a bit heavier than usual, thanks to some sort of chocolate chip cookies. Nothing I could do about it: I’m a sucker for those. Luck was on our side today however: the weather was cloudy but…
