On and Off

Image result for quotes for the caminoJust keep walking...because that's all you can do! And we walked 18.8 km yesterday and 16ish today!
For the last three or more days we have had a lot of rain showers, on and off. Most of them have been light showers but a few have been long and hard! We have spent a lot of time putting long sleeve shirts and jackets on and off, covering our backpacks and then trying to dry things off once we reach our destination. Usually we hang things on every rail of our beds, on our trekking poles, on window shutters...wherever there is a spot. And they are usually still damp in the morning:) Ahhh, the life of a pilgrim in the province of Galicia, which is known for unpredictable weather including a lot of rain. It's also known for eucalyptus trees,
pulpo (that's octopus), Galician soup made with potatoes, white beans and perhaps collard greens (yes family, I have eaten it!) and more that I will discover.
There is no wifi in our little cottage tonight so this is it...except for a few pictures from the last few days.


These birds were taking shelter from the rain  under the eaves of a building where we were eating lunch.
