Day 20 Santiago Nest Style Hotel

It’s almost 11pm and we have a 6:15 am train to catch tomorrow morning!

I called this blog appropriately "a change of pace" and that is exactly what we had today.

The bus picked us up and we were off on a tour to Finesterre and Muxia.  The end of the world and Muxia the place where allegedly the Virgin Mary came in a stone boat to lend encouragement to Santiago.  And so it goes.

We enjoyed our day a lot and had fun talking to an English couple who just finished walking the Primitivo, as well as a young woman from Vigo and her Greek boyfriend.  Who says trade deals are over? People travel, meet up, fall in love and create their lives in spite of the workings of government.  

And then this.  

After returning to Santiago we walked to Wl Corte Ingles , the big department store where we bought a small backpack for our "Camino Lite" coming up, some shirts for Craig and unbelievably a new swimsuit for me and I survived the trauma of it.  

Funny how after being in a country for a while one can tire of the food - the tapas and salads and meat and seafood. And what so we crave? Always Italian!!  

Tonight is our last night in Spain.  Will we return?   If the past is any predictor...

The videos from today really capture the stunning geography but blogger won’t upload them.
