Well, I'm learning my way around. Sign that I've been here too long. It is really easy to get lost here. All the streets look the same, old town is on a hill so getting your directional bearings is a little difficult.
I wanted to hit up a few places today that I'd found yesterday. So to do that, meant going down same streets and remembering where you went. I did remember and found those stores and more. I'm not a shopper just to shop, I usually only shop when I am looking for something specific. I save lots of money that way.
Cooler today than it's been this whole trip. Jacket required and even mine wasn't quite enough.
It seems every trek through town, I find cool stuff to photograph. My "cloud" account is full and can't back up anymore stuff. I'll have to download all my photos when I get home.
It's lunch time here and I need to eat something, but I'm tired of the food here. We have noticed that every restaurant serves the same food, looks same, tastes the same. So when we've found a restaurant that isn't playing that game, we've really enjoyed the change.
This hotel has agreement with restaurant that will deliver and their food is good and not the usual. Therefore that's what we've had for dinner last few nights and I will have for lunch today.
Went back to old town after 2 hour break. I noticed something the other day, this city and most others in Spain reuse and remodel. They do not tear down and build new. Partly I'm sure because the cost, but I also wonder if it's a mind set or culture. The history here is thick and rich, tearing that down could be painful.
Been a good relaxing day.
Packing tonight for our departure tomorrow, saying goodbye to Santiago de Compostela.
Another day done!
