Day 46: O Outeiro to Santiago

Miles 12

Well, here I am again in Santiago,  wondering where the time has gone. I arrived in good spirits and had a hamburger.

When pilgrims arrive, we go to the pilgrims’ office and collect our final credential stamp. This time the guy told me that my compostela (my certificate) would make a great beer mat. The last gal was being very respectful and serious. It takes all kinds, I guess.

Im looking forward to doing some shopping in Porto. I’ve had the exact same outfit on every day for a month. I really want to wear something that’s not a pink or blue t-shirt.

I’ve achieved something monumental. I made it 46 days with the same earplugs, eyemask, chapstick, and hankie.

I’ll go out later and stretch my legs. Now I’m off for a nap.

See you on the flip side.

There’s still charm to be found on the Via de la Plata

Day 45: Bandeira to O Outeiro

Humid kind of day. Had a terrible night’s sleep the last 2 nights. Really hoping for a good one tonight.

Today’s walking was pleasant because the sky was overcast. I love the sun and all…but I’m pretty tan already.

This is my last night on the path. Im eating up all my old bits of food, dinner tonight/breakfast tomorrow is…

A can of tuna

Old bread

Two protein bars

An orange

Old muesli

Instant coffee.

MMMMMmmmm so yummy

I’ll have a nice meal in Santiago tomorrow.

Day 44: A Laxe to Bandeira

Nice day in the countryside. Had a real breakfast for the first time in 6 weeks. Bacon and eggs, and man was it good.

The days are so pleasant here in spring. Can’t belive how lucky I’ve gotten with the weather.

The path was off on some crazy tangent, and I thought that there was some reason
It was to walk across a thousand year-old bridge
It’s wisteria season here, and I am loving it
What the flags mean, I don’t know
A left-behind book. Romance novels are just as bad in other languages, I’ve realized.

Day 43: O Castro to A Laxe

Miles 14

Hottest day so far this week, and I’m sure glad  it was a shorter kind of day. Im tired from dehydration, which is dumb of me.

Only me in the female dorm today. There’s some dudes on the other side, but they’re not saying much. I’ll have to try hard to find someone to have a beer with.

Just a few more nights left.

All the paths are coming together
