Walking Day 32

We've been talking about being blessed with good weather so as you might expect, it didn't last. For days we have walked under threatening rain clouds. Last night it started "tipping" as our Welsh friends say. This morning it was still pouring and hasn't let up. We started walking later than usual not wanting to walk in the rain and in the dark...still not really light at 8 am. A lot of the walk was in the woods, great smelling Eucaliptus trees and some protection from the wind, up and down and up, up again. Now driving rain. By the way my Tevas and wool soaks today are perfect. They needed a wash job anyway.

We had decided to make this another short walking day and are we glad to be in. Al is already ordering vino tinto and spaghetti. You know two days ago early in the morning Al announced he was "done" with Camino and wants to be home, also related that he was having nightmares of having the bottoms of his feet caned and other various tortures. The next dayr he tells me there are imaginary stones in his shoes. I think we both will be glad to get to Santiago.

We are in Arzua which is the last big town before Santiago with around 37 Km to go. Too much for me to do in one day.
