Back to walking! But only two days of short walks each day. The humidity this morning as we climbed up almost all of our daily vertical gain all at once was a bit killer. Not having carried it for 4 days made my pack feel way heavier. But once we got up the hill and the breeze picked up, it was a lovely day of walking.

After arriving, eating, and taking a quick nap, we walked to the beach and I swam in a protected cove again. The water was cold, but I adjusted quickly and had fun just floating around in the Atlantic.

Today’s statistics:

  • Kilometers walked: 15
    • Started in: Muxía
    • Ended in: Lires    
  • Elevation change:
    • Meters up: 240
    • Meters down: 275
  • Blisters: 0! Just calluses now
  • Different pairs of shoes worn: 1
  • Granola bars consumed: 1
  • Favorite moment:
    • Dinner outside listening to Galician bagpipers. It was really fun music, not too loud, and fun to watch in addition to listening. Plus the food was yummy!
