Notable memories
The day
In order to have a rest day and allow for bad weather and allow for a day in Madrid, today started out as a 19 mile day. Camiga Cathy and I did it, but by the time we reached Pontevedra, we were both sore, quite sure.
The only agenda item really became something to eat and to bed. Tomorrow will be an easier day, only 12 miles but that's because I couldn't figure out how to squeeze in some extra miles.
At the halfway point, lots of pilgrims begin dropping out to spend the night in Arcade, a seaport town at the end of a fjord. Arcade was the halfway point on today's hike for making any decisions. Cathy has been having issues but today she decided to go for it. I had been feeling pretty good and was ready for a challenge. So we went for it. Glad we did, but there was a price to pay.

The weather has been in our favor, but Tuesday, two days from today, the weather forecast says 90% chance of rain all day long. Not sure what I'll do then on Tuesday, whether to hunker down wherever I am or to press on.
That is the train bridge way high overhead, passing right through the center of town.
