Last night making our way back to the hostel from the store in a beach-mist-type fog, I was dreading today's walk. A lot of kilometers lay ahead and the clouds to the west looked laden with rain. The forecast called for showers and cooler temperatures. We got the cooler weather, but the rain never materialized. Instead of putting on the ponchos I'd anticipated, we put on sunscreen. Even the terrain changed in our favor, with smooth dry paths and gentler climbs. We felt better today after 30km than we did after far shorter walks the previous 2 days.
We nearly got skunked on a room,though, when we got here. The town is full this weekend because of some sort oftesting convention. We finally scored after four tries.
It is really clear now that we are in Galicia. The spanish sounds like portuguese, the houses look different and the towns are now closer together. We no longer need to carry extra food and water because we can find everything we need on the trail.
We've got two reasonably easy days left till Santiago. A bit surreal.
