Muxia

We planned on eating early but Lires is a one bar town with no grocery store.  No food was available until 8 PM.  The bar was also full of LOUD soccer fans watching a game and drinking so we went back to the beach for sunset.



We then came back and ate drank a little wine and went to bed without paying the bill.  We remembered in the AM and left money as we headed out before they opened.

We are on a part of the trail between Finistere and Muxio so the guiding arrows go both ways.



There were a few snakes on the trail - first ones.



We also took the last shadow picture with Paul waving hi.


The path was good and we arrived in Muxio early.   Beautiful beaches



The wifi code was a challenge but we finally got it right.


We reconnected with Maidere from earlier and she is in the same Albergue with a great view of the ocean.


People wise, we only saw people headed the other way.  One young lady from Czech. who had quit a job she hated and was doing the Camino in search of better goals.  Her English was excellent.

A gentleman  from South Korea had retired at age 45 and chosen the Camino.


A third gentlemen was carrying a stuffed tiger about 20 inches tall.  When asked about his story he said he did not have time to talk.  It would have been interesting.

Paul is doing well.


We went to the beach this afternoon.  It was truly awesome.  Paul really thought about going in, but the tide was strong and there was too much flotsam in the water.  Probably a good judgement call.  Absolutely no spaniards - very strange,



Maidere remains a fun person and we will try to stay in contact to see how things go with CJ, her boyfriend.


The beach was a fun afternoon.


We watched another beautiful sunset.


We met up again with Shaun (Texas), Antoinete. (California) and Christine (Germany) plus we added Mark  (Ontario)
We all had a great dinner with a very entertaining owner.  Everything was served family style even though we did not order it that way plus he played the accordion for us.  A very entertaining evening .

Deserts




I am ready to retire the backpack and return to the real world.  I will see all of you soon.
