A Rainy Day In Galicia

The province of Galicia is know for its wet weather. I think that I would have actually been disappointed had I had all sunshine for the last stage of the Camino. So, the Camino Gods decided that a good healthy day of rain was what the pilgrims needed! Although the rain was light when I left Melide, it picked up force and I was soaked before even getting my first coffee. None of my fellow pilgrims seemed too bothered by the inclement weather. Rain gear helped, but it was absolutely impossible to keep the feet dry. So, after a 19 mile hike in the rain, I rolled into one of the nicest albergues that I've stayed in on this trip. A good hot shower and a special lunch of shrimp and octopus made everything right again. 

Only 12 miles tomorrow morning to wrap up my Camino.
