We had a gorgeous breakfast this morning at the upscale version of the hotel we'd been staying at because they didn't have a room for us there for the last night. Same price, about half of what this one cost. The owners of both are exceptional proprietors and the experience of staying here is so so nice. It's made lazy pilgrims out of us!! It's worth it to cone to Santiago just to stay with them!!
We'll return here next Wednesday for one night by bus from Finisterre before we leave for Madrid.
So this was a good choice. Today's walk was picturesque, sunny, slight breeze, well marked Camino with fewer peregrinos, 4 mile straight uphill notwithstanding!! Talked with a woman from Zimbabwe who now lives in London because it's too violent and dangerous.
Craig had a joyful time after he caffeined up and listened to "Craig's happy tunes" playlist to ease the climb. Drats! My phone was out of battery or I would have had a great video of the peregrino contento dancing down the lane backpack and all!
Speaking of Craig, I'm still puzzled as to why he is AlWAYS ready with backpack on before me.
And I never knew he could whistle so well - after all these years.
So we have a lighthearted feeling. Perhaps because our sins were absolved at the Santiago mass? Perhaps it's the abundant sunshine? We have a lovely ease between us. Those edges that sometimes come with long time relationships have softened. We're making decisions easily. Bringing it on home!!!
Questions? Feel free to ask.
