Day 28~ July 27

San Mamade del Camino to Mercadoiro, 13.5 miles, 8 hours.

Yesterday we stopped early as Doug's feet were killing him and his calves were cramping. I felt so bad for him, but the ornery side of me thought Yes he is weak too! Not nice I know. So he napped yesterday as I was doing housekeeping stuff. That is why I told him to write. Now it sounds like I need to talk a little about the shower situation.

Every place that we stop is different other than there is not one square wall in Spain. Some showers have two little spaces smaller than 3x3, one for dressing and one for washing (everything gets wet) with a door, these could be in a co-ed bathroom, some it is a small shower where you have to undress and dress in the public area. Not co-ed but still!! And last but not least open showers, not a door to seen, not co-ed. UGH!

The last part is that tonight for at least 20 women there is 2 showers, 1 toilet, 2 sinks, not ideal. Last night it was co-ed, 2 private showers, 2 toilets, 3 sinks for an 8 bed room, Doug was the token male in the room. WhooHoo!

Enough said. Here are some pictures for the day.

  2. Ah, it works. Finally found the right password. Hope you got the birthday wishes a couple weeks ago. Happy walking. We are enjoying coolish weather. Matt and I took in a rare Mariner's win on Thursday. Carol says hello and sends her love.

  3. Hi, you two. We are still following you. Went to Walla Walla and thought of you a lot. You are in our prayers. Galicia! I just finished a book (hysterical fiction) about the 1809 War with France. Mentioned the Camino de Santiago. Thought of you again. Take care, Love J
