16 miles today, with one more night before Santiago. I decided to treat myself to my own room in the private albergue here. I will have to note that last night's Xunta albergue was very nice with only six of us peregrinos. That is, until a bus load of 50+ Spanish high school students showed up for the night in a place designed for only half that many. They took most of the beds out of our room (at least they did not mix them in with us). I know I'm an old fogey, but those kids were clanging and banging and yelling well after 11 pm. I guess they were on a school field trip to study pilgrimage, but most peregrinos are quiet and considerate after 9 or 10 pm. Oh well, I figure I deserve my own quiet room tonight!
A typical view on today's walk. Just coming around the corner into another little village.
The wet, warm weather has brought a profusion of mushrooms out along the trail. Don't worry, I am not tempted to try any
Walking into Silleda, here's where to buy your Lamborghini tractor.
Or your very own new windmill (Molino de viento)
My own room for a night, even has a little balcony seating area!
My menú del diá featured my first caldo Gallego of this trip. Lots of liquid, no hint of meat beyond the stock. It was delicious and I need to try it this way when I get home.
Second plate was macaroni and meat with tomato sauce. A good high carb meal for a walker.
