So we started the day on the wrong path but we marched onward. We were getting to Padron no matter what...and we did. But there of course is a story.
So.... we walked a lot, meeting several other pilgrims this day including one from Slovenia, one from the Ukraine, an Aussie couple and a few who we just exchanged hellos with as we passed. It was a good day and ending time with others made the day pass more quickly. I was slow but managing. as we approached Padron. Eddie was ahead of me and I would have liked to stop for a drink at a cafe but Eddie was marching onward. We passed the river and were going to be entering Padron, I figured then I could eat, drink, get a room and nap (after the mouse in the albergue in Briallo) and this is when we should have marched on just a bit more... but I was desperate for a nap, shower and toilet. We stopped at the first place we saw at my insistence, the Flavia. DO NOT STAY THERE... lets just say that my desperation caused me to lose my mind. I did shower wothout touching anything... I laid down and slept two hours, finding the husband perched at the edge of a chair, in exactly the same position as when I fell asleep. He, upon my awakening, said we had to get out of there... so we did. And we walked on to Areal... to A Milagrosa pension, clean and comfy and beautifully quiet. We arrived there at 10:30 p.m. and were welcomed kindly. Eddie went out to get us a snack to eat and even brought me back a beer! Well deserved after walking twice in one day... Only one more day to reach Santiago!
