San Lorenzo Santiago de Compostela

... there ASAP. Unfortunately there were dark, dark, clouds on Sunday morning. And I just couldn't get myself to go there and wait in line the entire day. So we decided to leave around 4pm.<br><br>Around 4.30 pm we sat in line at gate 2, on the sidewalk. Since the queue of gate 2 was going into the direction of gate 1's queue, the two lines met; they actually met at the spot where we were sitting. So from there on the queues made u-turns and continued on the ...

... the smell of livestock. We spent a lot of time thinking and talking about what our plans are for when we get home, as we are both in limbo at the moment, and we have a somewhat better idea now. Santiago itself is okay, but we´re not going to spend much time here. We checked out the cathedral, and the remains of St. James (the whole reason a pilgrimage exists). We also got to see the BIGGEST incense burner ever. Its over 200 lbs, and it took 5 monks to ...

... phase the guy at the check-in desk one bit. We headed through into the duty free area and made our way to our gate were we found somewhere to sit and had a coffee while we whiled away the two hours before departure time. After about half an hour there was an enormous queue forming at the gate for the preceding Ryanair flight. They started boarding the Ryanair flight about 10 minutes before it was due to depart, got the majority of people on board by the departure time ...

... we wandered around looking for our hostel but couldnt find it, so we just found one that was close by and went back the following day and managed to find it. The hostel here was awsome probably the best I have ever been to in all of my travels. It was so nice to just relax, and have a proper continental breakfast with eggs, not JUST toast, which seems to be every where here. This hostel had a wine tasting night which was alot of fun ...

... un desfile de personajes. En Madrid me faltó tiempo, hay mucho que ver contando sus alrededores. Amplias plazas de despejados cielos azules, fuentes mitológicas, largas avenidas, puertas como guardianes, y sus museos, benditos museos. El Guernica me dejó pasmada, y es que cómo no ser participe de la emoción transmitida, nunca nadie habia podido comunicar con unos cuantos ángulos agudos todo el dolor de la guerra, de la muerte de civiles. Para enchinarle ...

... circle. Your dreams are what they have always been. Sunshine calls to me, pulling me away from gray skies and long months of rain. It calls me to places where my dreams of changing the world in small ways; through one person, through one photo, through one story;become a reality...maybe it is finally the right time to start reaching out. Decisions? None as of now, but destiny will be revealed when the time comes to make them.

... taking one look at the completely overpriced food for tourists, we decided to take a walk to a nearby supermarket and buy quick sandwiches and beer. We spent &euro;8 on the entire meal for the 3 of us and sat at a park bench for our lunch. After our sugar donuts for desert and after our feet weren't hurting as much, we crossed the street and went back to the Prado to finish it off. The next floor level was dedicated to painting ...

... walked back and headed back to the A Coruna train station and hopped on a train to Santiago de Compostella. We got there and thats where we are now. Going out tonight, can't wait. --------------------------------------- --------------------------------------- --- Western Spain may be cool, but I'm goin to Indiana!!!....Adam's final journey I wake up on my own just before 8. I take a shower, pack all my things for the last time, and head for the ...

The end of our trip has come and gone. The last few days were alot of fun and I hated to leave and am sad to realize that I won't be seeing Michelle again until Christmas! But she's going to have an amazing time in Spain and it feels so good to be home after 2 months abroad. So a few highlights of our last few days there... On Saturday we took a little trip on a train to Toledo which was the ...

... albergues, which are by donation, you need to arrive by 2pm or so, which results in everyone getting up early and hot-footing it to the next destination, rather than enjoying a more leisurely walk. You are not able to book a bed, unlike the private places. As now 4pm and still 11kms to go, started hitching, but had no cars past in the last hour, and no buses. Accidentally hitched the Guardia, but were passed by a dozen cars before a German in a van stopped for ...
