The bus left at 6:15, so we had to be there at 6. Ticket holders got to board first. Fortunately there were enough seats for everyone to get a seat with only about 6 seats left. We stopped several times to take on more passengers. So it ended up being standing room only.

Noël and I both dozed throughout the bus ride. Again everything is catching up with us. And our bodies are taking advantage of the rest.

The rain is back in full force, welcome to Galicia some locals might say. But that’s how life is, right? Rain or shine you keep moving on.

Our friend Sam from the UK is here in Santiago de Compostela too. We had dinner with her the last two nights in Muxia and had a lovely time watching the sunset in Muxia. We mentioned a couple of pilgrims from Australia that we had dinner with three or four weeks ago, but hadn’t seen since Najera.

As Noël and I were walking to our accommodation if felt like we were swimming upstream through the pilgrims heading towards the cathedral. I spotted familiar faces! It was Angie and David from Australia!! How great to see them. Angie, David, Sam joined us for dinner. How fun.

In addition a good friend from college introduced me through facebook to a friend of hers who lives in Santiago de Compostela and we got to meet her as well. Thank you Patti, it was so nice to meet Clara!!

Tuesday will be our last day in Santiago de Compostela. What a journey!!
