It was nice to sleep in a bit this morning. After a somewhat loungey hour, I got myself organized and packed up so that I could eventually move on to my next AirBnB in the country. Next door to where I was staying was a cool little Galacian Artisanal Shop, Merlin e Familia that sold really nice handmade items by local artists. I stopped in there quickly the day before but wanted to linger and look around a bit more. I found this little tapas set and bought it.
I met Megan and Sonali at “The Pilgrim’s Museum” that is attached to the Cathedral. It was really beautiful and informative. I took a ton of pictures of informational plaques because I think they explain the information the best.
I really enjoyed this museum. I found it super informative and understood pilgrimages more.
Afterwards, we ran into Laura and Patrick. They were on their way to the Pilgrim’s Mass and we were on our way to check out the Paradores.
Megan and I wanted to check out the Paradores Hotel because it used to be the Pilgrim’s hospital. This was one of the first hospitals in the world. The plazas are gorgeous.
Megan and I decided to have our last meal in Spain together at the Paradores. It was really nice and of course beautiful. Patrick came and had a goodbye coffee with us. The three of us shared what we felt we learned from the Camino before parting ways.
The time came to say goodbye to Megan and Sonali. I’m so grateful to have done this with the two of them.
I stayed at Casa de Terre Branca and I can highly recommend it. I really took the time to relax and reflect before I set out on my journey back home the next morning. Look at the view from my window.
This trip has come to an end, I’m going to take some time to think about the next big adventure. This trip has been beyond wonderful and I’m so thankful that I’ve been able to do this.
Life is an adventure!
