[Gocamino] Camino movie with Martin Sheen

[tinuviel]

Bob -

When I walked from Finisterre to Muxia, there was a 'raging stream'  
to be crossed. Jaanika & I took off our shoes, rolled up our pants &  
hopped on the concrete foundation blocks of what used to be a bridge.  
The blocks were covered with 6 or more inches of water & i don't know  
how deep the stream was - we didn't want to find out, either.

When we got to Muxia, a couple guys ahead of us asked how we got  
across the stream w/o getting soaking wet. ... took our shoes off ...  
the boys didn't think of that & forged it fully clothed & walked a  
long, long time with very wet socks & shoes. at least the weather was  
nice!
