We had a good night in our Refugio. It was only 10 euros each for our private apartment. We had a late lunch yesterday for 9 euros each . They served us a bottle of wine with a plate of chorizo and ham with a basket of bread . Shortly followed by chicken noodle soup, salad, steak and French fries. Desert was flan. Today we pushed the 40K mark. The trail profile was encouraging. The weather was misty and cool to start with and is still overcast: perfect walking conditions. After all this Galacian hill climbing, our legs were ready and our outlook positive. We knew we would be totally enervated by the time we arrived. All our friends are continually appearing. We ate at the local bar, soup, salad, ice cream, coke, red wine and gaseosa. Joan showered and is socializing with the new arrivals. We are so familiar with some that we recognize their presence from the hanging laundry. We are getting close to the end and everyone is both excited and sad. We have been a community. No more then 2 or 3 people walk together but we experience the same trail the same sentiments and the same challenges. We all meet at the end of the day in the albergues and we attempt to communicate in several languages and with facial expressions. Tomorrow is our last day on the camino before being swallowed up by Santiago. We will spend 4 nights in Santiago. We want to complete our experience by going to Sunday services at the Cathedral. |
