Sunday, October 18, is the first day of no walking after 13 straight days of walking for 5-15 km!!!  A strange feeling...however, it was lovely to take a shower in private bathroom with a real towel!!  I am staying in a house with Hilde, Agnes. And Melanie. They found it through Airbnb.

It is very close to St James Cathedral so very, very convenient!

My bed for two nights - sofa sleeper.

Melanie left tonight by train to start her journey home to Alabama. Judi moved in today after isolating herself due to a bedbug incident which is now cleared up!
Instead of walking today, we all 5 took a bus tour to Finisterre, Muxia, and other villages along the coast. It was terrific to get an ocean fix!

Muxia church

This is a very significant waymarker for the pilgrims who walk on from Santiago to Finnesterre - 80+ km!

Most people stood on top of the square stones but nervous of heights me was quite content with this level!!

 Once again, I was only comfortable from a secure spot above where others were scrambling like goats all over rocks in precarious places!! It was spectacular to see this spot - the end of the world before Columbus' 'discovery'!!!

It is 11:30 pm so time for me to get to bed -- Finnesterre is a typical coastal fishing village except for the fact that thousands of pilgrims visit here yearly!!
