October 21 Santiago de Compostela

What a day! The very bright side – I ran into the two women from Missouri I’ve been seeing over and over and Jo, the woman from Australia who became a good buddy. And I met and spent time with a retired woman who lives in her van and travels all over!
Otherwise: Lost my Compostela, got to my room and discovered my bag had been delivered to the place I’d cancelled (uphill. Stairs. Uphill). My phone quit charging because the cable was wet. I get lost in a closet, so was hoping Google maps didn’t eat the last 5%. Wasn’t sure how to get a taxi to the airport, but I learned there’s a taxi stand 300 meters away. Get to drag me and my belongings to the stand in the rain at 0630. But, everything is figured out and I’m in my room for the night!
