Eirexe to Melide - 23 Km
The weather today was cloudy but fairly warm with no rain. This was a very nice change from the rest of the week! The scenery was enjoyable and much of the same as we have been experiencing the last two weeks. We walked through Eucalyptus plantations, over old stone bridges, down rocky paths through the woods and along the roadside.
We have 51 Km left of the Camino and plan to finish in the next two days of hiking!
As we near the end of our Camino experience it is interesting the things that start to feel exciting that normally we take for granted. Here is my list of things I am excited for (I will check with Sol and see if he feels the same):
Clean sheets made from fabric - When sleeping in the Pilgrim Albergues we are ususally given disposable sheets that are similar to a cheap hospital gown. They crinkle and dont stay put! Urg. Real sheets will be so lovely!
Real Towels - Solomon and I both have light weight, small microfiber towels. They dry amazingly well but are seriously tedious. Think of drying your whole body with a dishcloth.
A Real Bra- I sent mine to Santiago and have been wearing a sports bra for three weeks. Sorry, TMI?
A queen or King Bed - Tired of bunk beds. We have had some real beds too but still too many bunk beds.
A kitchen - I am ready to cook some of our own food.
So as to not sound spoiled or ungrateful - these are really truly not complaints. I think these are all part of having a real experience while hiking the camino. However, I am looking forward to enjoying things that I have previously taken for granted and ready for a change of pace! (haha - traveling faster than a snail will be fun too!)
