Thirty Ninth Day On The Camino Friday, October 26, 2018

We enjoyed a good night’s sleep in our sleeping pod at the nice, clean and modern albergue in Palas de Rei. Now it is off to Castaneda, a 23 kilometer hike. The ball of my left foot is getting a little sore so I decided to have the alburgue in Palas de Rei send my bag to the alburgue in Castaneda. It is only 3 euros and will make today’s walk so much easier.

It was overcast this morning so no pictures of the sunrise, but I did get a few good pictures of the moon.

This is called a horreos. It is a Spanish grain storage structure. Based on the size and the ornamentation this would have been a rich family’s horreos.

This is a poor family’s horreos.

Another picture of the moon over Galicia.

This is a fog rainbow 🌈.

This guy is from Germany and his name is Hermann, Hermann the German. He made this contraption in his garage and has done the entire Camino hauling this cart behind him. He said that he carries at least two six packs of beer and camping equipment in the two bags on the cart. He wants to make sure he does not run short of beer 🍺 on his Camino. You gotta hand it to this German for keeping his Camino priorities straight.

This is Gabriel, like the angel Gabriel, from Columbia.

I stopped him and told him he had the best hat on the Camino. He said it is a genuine hand woven straw Panama hat. He said it is the Hugo Chavez model and it comes from an on line hat company that you can find at http://www.hatsfitforadruglord.com. I asked him what he did for a living and he told me he is a drug wholesaler and exporter. I was going to inquire further about his business, but Abe told me to shut up and walk on down the trail.

I told you that pulpo, or octopus 🐙, was big in Galicia. I know this is a stupid picture but I had to take it.
