Sunday 18 March 2012
We were up before 8 to exit our parking area so we wouldn't have to pay for an additional day. It rained and even hailed as we drove through the pilgrimage-route towns.
We found some good street art (always a bonus) and were driving through the Galicia region when we stopped to eat at a secluded beach near the town of Espasante. The setting was gorgeous, though there was still a nip in the air, with camelia bushes in full bloom and even a few cork trees. Charles brought coffee to the car in the restaurant's cups and saucers, and Dian made a scrumptious lunch of garlic and onion fried potatoes with a little touch of mayo, and mackerel.
After lunch we walked down to the beach where Nicole found clay seeping out of the ground. She collected some with the thought of sculpting it later. Dian found slate, driftwood, cork, and shark egg sacks.

Driving toward Viveiro, we started hearing a weird sound coming from the back of the van. Not again! We called our guru Sebastian and he recommended driving the van up on a curb and tightening screws on the muffler, which Charles did. Meanwhile Dian walked into town and bought a ham and cheese pastry for dinner and a little Daisy Duck candle.
We had port wine and listened to The Innocents Abroad as we fell asleep next to the river and the flow of traffic.
