Bentanzos and Fiestas

An “easy” day of 13 miles. There were a few climbs that had us uttering words that should not be said on a Sunday, but we are at our albergue and all is well. This Camino is around 85% paved, so shoes with a good amount of cushion are really important. I’m really missing my Speedgoats, and I’m only on day 2 - this doesn’t bode well! Apparently, all Hokas are not created equal…

There was a fiesta tonight, and not much room at the inn. I’m glad we had reservations, as it seems everyone’s family has shown up from all over Galicia for the party. Fortunately our albergue was far enough away that the music didn’t keep us up. Although to be fair, I’m not sure if anything would have kept us up, we were so tired!

We had a very funny encounter in the morning - for the Americans, imagine being served your coffee and croissant by Tim Conway from The Carol Burnett Show. Priceless memory.
