The life of a sightseer isn't quite as strenuous as pilgrim life but we are still tired tonight!!

It rained all day here in Santiago so we were thankful to not be walking and felt for those who were.

Hilde & Agnes left very early this a.m. and are now in sunny Portugal!

Judi and I slept in - in fact, Carmen the maid arrived before I was out of the shower! We headed out to find some breakfast then took laundry to the Pilgrim House - a wonderful resource and respite for pilgrims. The immediate area around the Cathedral is full of souvenir shops + jewelry stores, etc. Also scads of pilgrims!! Found the post office where I had some cards waiting for me - what a treat!!! Thank you to those who sent congrats!

At some point we did go to try the Cathedral Museum and Cathedral. Here are a few photos from that experience:

The organ

From cloister - one tower

Another two towers

and another one

Inside museum, the library!

After a couple of hours, we had had enough so Judi went to house & I went to get laundry & discovered by accident that the post office is just up some steps from the house!!! We took the long way earlier! After resting, we found an Italian restaurant that was highly recommended - it was good!! Tomorrow is to be clear so will take more photos. If there is a Cathedral rooftop tour in English tomorrow, we are going to try it - yes, even height challenged me! It must be time for me to be heading home as my socks are wearing out:
