The Ocean

Today we reached the ocean. It was a dramatic and difficult hike. Although we only went about twelve miles most of it was in driving rain through about ten miles of hilly, unprotected moor without a building in sight. We were soaked and chilled and pressing on against very strong headwinds. This difficult hike ended happily. We've stopped at Cee, about six miles short of our goal but still on the ocean. For only the second time since we began our walk we've chosen to stay at a simple hotel instead of the public hostels. It is a joy to warm up and fill up after the chill and hunger of the Camino.

    Bravo --fun reading along with you as you travel. I've had a far less rugged time here in Barcelona and Granada with Javier. Tonight we went to the caves outside the city to watch the gypsies dance. Glad you're within reach of Finisterre. Buen Camino.
