Meaningful Moment

The terrain of Galicia is absolutely beautiful. It is lush and green and almost borders on a rainforest.

It is much more hilly and mountainous than Aragon. It is in such stuck contrast to the Los Monegros desert.

Random Thought of the Day 

Tuesday morning: ( see "on the road" for Tuesday afternoon lol )

Well, by messing up the train ticket date, we seem to have dodged the rain issues in Galicia. 

Current weather reports for today are that the rain has stopped. Over the next several days, the weather should be quite nice. 

Deb's quick thinking was on point: take advantage of the errant train tickets and spend an additional day in Zaragoza.

For the first time on a camino, since I'm repeating the Camino Finisterra / Muxia, I really have no desire to collect stamps, or as they are called "sellos" for my Pilgrim's credential. 

I am along for the walk this time ... With Deb.

On the Road / Notable memories

Dodged a 15 minute downpour with a lucky stop at a bar for lunch in Augapesada.

The weather radar says absolutely no issues, but on the ground it's a completely different story.

Although we avoided the first cloudburst, a bad weather forecast caught us in a1/2 hour downpour while climbing 750 feet up Alto do Mar de Ovellas.

The rivulettes of water streaming down the mountain were actually worse than the rainfall. 

Walking in the rain today

	Starting the Camino Finisterre in front of the Cathedral of Santiago.
	Only one mile out of Santiago
	Last look at the cathedral
	Near Roxos
	Where are the Camino markers?
	Dodged the first rainstorm by hanging out in a bar
	Slugging it out in the rain because we got nailed during the second downpour during a 750 foot climb.
