October 16 Santiago – Here is Harriet

We shared many miles, helped each other traverse some treacherous and rocky downhills. She is 74 and lives in Washington state. She walked into Santiago today, October 16th, under a deluge of rainfall. We met our first day out – on September 7. She picked up her Compostela today.

Santiago – Laundry

Santiago de Compostela-Chores: Found the laundromat and discovered I only had 50€ bills. The change machine changes up to 20€ bills. So off to breakfast! Didn’t eat last night, so a good breakfast was welcome. Clothes are in the machine. Everything I own for this weather had gotten way past my “cleanest dirty clothes.” Next on the list (after changing out of these shorts and the lightweight sleeping leggings) is the medical center to see a doc. Then it will be nap time.

October 15 Adios Palas Del Rey

Taxi to Santiago, 41 miles.

Got a hug from a Danish fellow I’ve been seeing here and there. He said I must have a cortado and promptly ordered it for the señora.

Riding along listening to Hotel California on the taxi’s radio. Still surprises me that most of the music I hear is American.
