Meaningful Moment

I'm reviewing my own sense of judgmentalism .

The albergue that we are staying at is truly in the middle of cattle country. They is a very strong odor of cows.

When I first arrived at the albergue, my thought was how am I going to put up with this.

But after some reflection, I came to see this as  elitism on my part. 

What is going out here is real work with real people who are living a real life. 

And I was basically not taking account of how other people live their lives.

Perhaps more importantly, I was applying how my brakes to how others lived there lives.

Random Thought of the Day

Don't got one.

On the Road / Notable memories

Once again just overwhelmed by how lush and green Galicia is as opposed to the desert of Aragon's Los Monegros.

 

Santa Marina is literally a five house town. Deb and I took a walk around and we were all done in 10 minutes, so we just really hanging out at the Albergue. We will go to bed relatively early at 10:00, and get up for an early start tomorrow morning

	Some beautiful trailing to start the day
	As close to a rainforest as I can imagine
	Cattle country
	Some incredible panoramas
	This cat apparently owns the restaurant where Deb and I were having lunch
	And some beautiful scenery towards the end of the hiking day
	Igrexa de Santa Mariña
