I got a great night’s sleep and got up at 6:30 AM. It took me an hour to pack and eat breakfast and I was on the road by 7:30. It rained for the first couple of hours, mostly drizzle. When it started to rain hard I always had a bus shelter handy to escape the downpour.
I stopped in a bar on the way out of Negreira to get a bite to eat. The whole bar was filled with tables of guys playing dominoes.
From what I could gather, when it is your turn you slap your domino on the stone table top and lay it down where you are playing it. Between the rifle shot report of the slamming dominoes and the players yelling at each other and yelling at the bartender for more coffee the noise level in this place was deafening.
The bartender who came over to take my order didn’t speak a lick of English but I was finally able to order a kitchen sink omelette stuffed with everything she had in the kitchen.
That’s it from San Mamede da Pena, Spain. I hope you are having a wonderful day wherever you are.
