• Day 10 Redondela to Pontevedra 21km

    13.–17. apr., Spania ⋅ ☁️ 16 °C

    Very cool morning. I used my phone as a headlamp at times when walking in the woods.

    It was supposed to rain , however it didn't which was great!
    The sun came out and it truly was a perfect walking day.

    My favorite spot was Arcade and the Roman bridge🥰🥰

    Not all was rosy today as I now have renamed myself to " Punctured Penguin Pilgrim".......so....my arm was bit by a Belgian Shepherd pup.
    Yikes!! But don't worry. guys, i know what you're thinking.....I am fine, I really am.....just a little sore tonight.

    The owner was walking towards me and had the dog on his right side. As I passed the dog swung around to his left side and lunged at me biting my left forearm. I honestly was in shock😱 Long story short, an ObGyn Dr. was able to clean it and bandage it so I could keep walking until I could see a Dr.. She always carries First Aid stuff. Her husband even offered me a beer🍺

    I saw a wonderful Dr. who got it cleaned up, gave me a tetanus shot, antibiotics and Advil and Tylenol for pain. Things always happen on my left side.....so interesting really.

    I saw Karen and Terry from Edmonton again today . They are really nice people ....I also met a woman from Australia and walked with a lady from the Netherlands. I also walked with a couple from Malaysia!!

    Oh I nearly forgot, when I arrived in Pontevedra there was a procession for Palm Sunday. Masses of people, music, etc. I am sure this will continue during the Holy week celebration.
