Her hubby, Glen met us on arrival and we went to a fabulous tapas bar!
Sherri offered to take us home to her place but she feared we would miss everything Lugo had to offer. Her advice was awesome and while we were much too tired to totally take it in, we fell in love with what we saw. It is a fabulous city!
We stayed at an amazing hostel, with beds that were cubby holes with curtains. I slept near the window which gave me a chance to witness the partying crowd on the streets below. When I woke up and looked out the huge beautiful windows to see below I could see the last night bar workers sweeping and cleaning.
I got up, snuck out to grab a coffee and cake back to wake the troops. While having my coffee I watched a few pilgrims go by. Some were in our bubble but none I really knew. Funny thing is today I sit without backpack in a trendy spot drinking coffee, I’m a tourist and none of them recognized me. When I said their names all look confused and you could tell their brain had to process.
Today Sherri grabbed us early. We watched the royal wedding at her home, totally lethargic while Jordi worked magic in her kitchen! Sherri has the most amazing kitchen and Jordi kept us gals fed with different nibbles to eat.
But first Sherri kindly offered to take us to Decathlon because Jordi ripped his shorts and needs new ones. He will continue on from Santiago to Muxia where he plans to hike some of the Faros way and then we hope to join him our last night in Europe. That’s the plan atleast!
Our big news is Steve and Reichen are coming out to see us!!!! Steve to bring Boo’s ashes that will join Schooners and be thrown into Muxia and Reichen to I hope have an opportunity of a lifetime!
Reichen has been accepted into the college of his choice for Engineering, he got a nice scholarship and has , with my urging, formally requested and has been granted a gap year to travel.
With some of my connections I have found Reichen an amazing opportunity at a surf camp for several months. I have a connection for rock climbing and kite surfing too, so I hope he’ll get to really enjoy. He is with a crowd I know and am very excited about this!
He plans to be here 3-6 months, then we hope he’ll go to Asia for about 4 more months and then he’ll have the choice before school to attempt the Appalachian Trail or come back to Portugal again. I am super happy for him!
Hey guys! So good to read this! Where are you guys now? We still hope we can welcome you here in Casa Familia. Buen camino, Heidi and family (we met on the Portugese and in pilgrim's office)
