I hadn't expected it to be over a week and into the next year before I posted again. I'm still in Spain and obviously way behind on the photo posting.
Summary sans photos:
- Friday, 24 December 2010: Christmas Eve at Emily's host family's house
- Saturday: Christmas morning at Hotel Alfonso IX, bus in afternoon to Madrid, train overnight to A Coruña
- Sunday: Wandered along shore, in fort and old city. Called home then walked to Torre de Hercules, dinner with just Colin.
- Monday: Walked from fort to Torre de Hercules, saw the House of Words and Moorish tombs along the way. Took short train ride to Santiago de Compostela, checked into hotel (Hotel Mexico).
- Tuesday: Looked at the outside and inside of the cathedral.
- Wednesday: Visited the daily market and then the museum. Ate lunch near the cathedral and had Italian for dinner.
- Thursday: Colin's parents, Sarah, and Rachel depart to make their way home. Emily, Colin, and I head to Melide by bus to hike on the Camino de Santiago.
- Friday: Walked to Arzúa, still unable to get the pilgrimage documents. Took bus back to Santiago, stayed New Year's Eve in Hotel Mexico.
- Saturday (today): Karen has shin splints, Colin and Emily are hiked a "short" section of the Camino. We will be taking the night train back to Madrid tonight. Other plans are still up in the air, but it's likely we'll either stay in Madrid or spend sometime in Barcelona.
