O Obrigatoiro to Casa

At breakfast Eric unpacked a hapless Dave, retired postal worker. Dave had a tough first day over hydrating on electrolytes. But I saw him walk later and he had a fast pace going. So he recovered rather well.

What is a US mailbox doing on the Camino in Spain? Did Dave see it? Good picture of Eric and Mike.
I started rolling on the Camino but it wasn't right to be there with the walkers. I buzzed over to Melide and ensconced myself in a cafe with a 6 pack of yogurts and some fruit. Time to stop eating all those croissants, but I did have the coffees.

I finished my inner work digitization and I'm going to be a pound lighter, and maybe a pound smarter.

In the afternoon I played "let's see where I end up" by randomly turning into small county lanes to see where they would lead me. I kept a general direction going and hoped I wasn't going to get caught in some labyrinth with one exit back out the way I came in and have it be for miles and miles. All in all it was fairly successful and yielded a great cycling day with lots of climbing.

Carla made it into Santiago today, with energy to spare for a good jump.

I'm looking at returning the bike tomorrow, it's time, look at that rear tire, I burned rubber like a nascar driver.

I'm cleaned up and am looking forward to hear the stories of Eric and Mike who is now on his 3rd day. They'll be on Eric's penguin. Czytaj więcej
