Last day teaching and camino meetup

We only had time for a short walk before my class today. First to my favorite sock store, Pedemeia (Portugal makes wonderful, high quality socks —who knew?), located right next to the Loja de Cidadão —the Citizen’s Store.

What a great concept. Every public utility, government service (passport, drivers license, immigration, etc) all in one place on two or three floors. When you arrive, you go to an automated kiosk and get your ticket. They even have a counter for “I lost my wallet,” which is an idea Spain, with its ridiculous rate of pickpockets, ought to consider.

As always, class sped by and then came the time to hand out the final project/exam and say goodbye. The future is opaque but I can’t bear to think this might be my last year!!!

The special treat of the day came at 6, when five of the online camino forum got together at the Peregrina Bar. What better way to end a day than talking about all things camino!!!Baca lagi
