Can I be tired?

But first…took yesterday off in Pontevedra and found our way to Combarro, a fascinating little fishing/marina/beach town nearby.  Among the most fascinating elements of the town were the hundreds of years old granaries that look like micro-chapels on stilts.  Apparently they’ve been used to dry all sorts of things, including fish, and the mushroom shaped stone supports prevent mice and rats from getting in and spoiling the grain.  Now tourists invade daily by the bus-load and we were fortunate enough to get a look around before they all showed up.

Today, we moved on to the next small town on our itinerary and somehow the walking of the last two weeks all caught up with us - we were simply worn out.  (Maybe the moral is to never take a day off!). Along the way we took a side trip to a wonderful national park with waterfalls, shade, restrooms and ice cream.  Hard to beat.  We had the usual breaks at bars and homes turned into pilgrim watering holes. Our hotel this evening included two thermal bath pools that were most welcome after a hard day on the trail.

Two days to go to Santiago.  Kind of hard to believe.
