After a hot cafe con leche we bundled into our rain gear for a decidedly stormy day. The tree canopy was greatly appreciated while long roadside stretches of pelting rain kept us focused on any upcoming cafe.I'm starting to get a little sad as this is one of our last two days. I'm starting to try to process what this journey has meant & how I can best incorporate the experience into my life back home.
The Camino safed lots of nature & special sights for the end. We spent hours walking through eucalyptus forests & enjoying huge bleeding heart & hydrangea bushes. We experienced a variety of art styles today. At Tia Dolores everything that wasn't moving had been turned into beer bottle art- the cafe, the fence & most impressively, an horrea. After this amazing site, we turned a corner to see another display, this one of a wall of lovingly placed hiking boots planted with colorful flowers. This one was my favorite.
We arrived as drowned rats at our pension in O'Pedrouzo, eager for nothing more than to peel off our wet clothes & start things drying for our final day into Santiago. We ventured out into the storm to enjoy a particularly non-pilgrim menu at a tiny gourmet food shop/tapas bar with a pilgrim pal, Rosa. We laid out all our gear for the last day- much like readying for graduation day.
