[QUOTE="J Willhaus, post: 1153846, member: 41003"] Walked to Correos to get Phil's pack. It was a Sunday afternoon and I remembered how much I disliked the crowds and tons of tourists enjoying the narrow streets. At Correos, the clerk was cautious about giving us the bag. I could see it right there, but she insisted on seeing the email with my code. We had a mile to walk to the AirBNB. Phil was really struggling. He said I was walking too fast and called out to me several times to "please wait". I wanted to get out of the crowd and the increasing heat quickly, but his 72 year old body and legs just needed me to slow down. I felt ashamed of my impatience so waited for him before I turned each corner. Mr Google was not our friend and took us a block away from our place. Thankfully, the owner had posted a photo of our little house so I was able to backtrack and find it sitting cheerfully on the banks of the River Sar. We are in a free standing house with 2 bedrooms next to what appears to be a boat dock. We are on a river walking path and it is not a bad walk back into the old town albeit mostly uphill. Quiet and lovely. After Phil had a nap and I laundered our clothes in the machine and dried them on the terrace, we walked back and met our Pilgrim friend, Wilma, from California for supper. We had drinks and then a meal at at the Mercado de Galicia. Very cool place with about 8 different kitchens arranged in a marketplace atmosphere. You can choose from vegetarian, typical Gallego, Italian pizza/pasta, Japanese-Gallego fusion, hamburgers, ice cream, other desserts and of course a wine bar, cerveceria, cocktails, and refrescos. Very neat place where you order with the waiter and they go to the market you choose and bring the dishes. Phil had Gallego-style pulled pork with potatoes. Wilma and I both had pasta. They both had dessert, too. Very neat place and I will take my students there as everyone can get what they want. I realized after looking at all my reservations that we had one night without accommodations so on Tuesday, Phil and I will take the bus to Finesterre for a night, then to Muxia, then back to Santiago and finally to Madrid. I will end this thread now and post anything interesting I find out along the way separately. Today, we will go get Compostelas and go to mass. Hope to meet up with [USER=52787]@trecile[/USER] to put a face to a social media contact if that works out. Thank you all for supporting us on our journey. I have written it before, but really those of you on the forum are the only ones who have any real interest in the Camino. My family glazes over when the topic comes up. Buen Camino to you all![ATTACH]150300[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
