Day 10. Rest Day in Tui

It was raining today and as soon as we stepped outside Greg started in with “The rain in Spain stays mainly in the plain" from My Fair Lady. Today was a rest day, so we took a tourist train over to Valenca, on the Portugal side of the river. We wandered around their old walled part of the city. The outside wall was probably 6-7 feet thick. The moat had been turned into the parking lot. There seemed to be a lot of textile shops here. I even found one with my name on it. We didn’t have much time to spend, so I didn’t get to look inside or meet that Laura. On our way back to our hotel, we ran into Julia, another fellow pilgrim from Fernanda’s. That one stay has made friends of us all. I am feeling rested enough to start again tomorrow. We are supposed to get more rain, so we’re leaving very early tomorrow to try to beat the worst of it.もっと詳しく
