Triacastela yesterday Sarria Tonight
Well here I am; about to start my last 100 km of this trip. Yes, I admit it, there were days, especially mornings, when my thoughts were "why am I doing this to myself? "
What do I miss the most besides my Snuggy and the kitties? Towels would have to be close to the top, nice, warm dry thick towels. The microfiber towel that I have does the job, but after a shower there is nothing beats a good towel.
What is the most useful thing outside of clothing? That is a toss up between the Spanish sim card and the dry bag that Melissa, Steve and the boys gave me: it stores whatever clothing that I am not wearing in one convenient spot in my back pack.
Not all albergues are created equally : the one I was in last night was clean warm and had a lot of hot water. All of which are good things but the place had the personality of prison, granted a minimum security prison; but a prison none the less.
This place is much more homelike. I have taken a picture of the official dog - her name is Julietta and she snores. She reminds me a bit of Dan on the admittedly rare occasions he snores. I wanted her to sleep in my room (yes this is how home sick I am getting ) but I was told that my roommates would likely toss me out.
Today was a glorious walk.; the temp was just right. But there were a lot of hills.
Anyway, I must scoot for now.
Love you my Snuggy
Photos:
Oct. 21 - 142 kms to go and a Vista - Note that the scenery and the track have changed dramatically.
Oct. 18 - Homage to the grape - here is a statue to the noble grape., Before the Meseta.
Oct. 7 - Not exactly the Weeping Wall, but ...... a special space.
Day 35 Triacastela - A short day today, time to build a good supper, Atmosphere though is another matter.
Progress Week 5 - It is phenomenal to see just how far Leslie has traveled since the start of her journey on the Way. I find it difficult to realise that there is less than a fortnight left in this journey for our intrepid traveler!
