When I got up this morning in Barrantes I looked at forecast for my destination, Vilanova de Arousa and it looked like rain. I had a nice breakfast at my hotel and practiced asking the front desk clerk to call me a cab, in Spanish. Then I looked outside and the rain seemed to have subsided. A smart person would have ignored the temporary lull in the rain. A smart person would have asked the front desk to call them a cab, por favor. As everyone reading this blog knows, I am not a smart person. Instead of calling a cab I put on my rain pants and my rain jacket and set off for Vilanova de Arousa.
The second half of the walk was along the coast and you can imagine what happened when we got to the coast. The wind started blowing and the rain came down in sheets. I finally got to my alburgue and my warm cozy lower bunk bed.
I have all my wet clothes hanging on a dryer rack but I doubt they will be dry by tomorrow morning. My shoes are soaked and there is no hope that they will dry. I am praying that the rain stops so I can get out this evening and have a nice dinner. I deserve a nice dinner.
That’s it from Vilanova de Arousa, Spain. I hope you are having a wonderful day wherever you are.
