Meaningful Moment
Sunset is 10:15 p.m. here. Deb and I were out walking the streets in Santiago until sunset.
- walked around the Plaza de Obrodoiero, the main cathedral square
- visited the cathedral
- had a super dinner at a recommended local restaurant
- walked among the people out for nightlife
- got ice cream, and
- took a little walk in Parque da Alameda
Random Thought of the Day
Uneventful travel today. Everything went pretty smoothly from Zaragoza to Santiago de Compostela.
Since I've already been to Santiago four times by my last count, it was a nice to walk around the cathedral but the magic and all have been superceded by becoming slightly routine.
