Pedrouzo

Just 20 kilometers out of Santiago tonight and we are excited, tired, and ready to get there. We're staying in a brand new albergue with two school groups of about high school aged kids so its more rowdy than usual. Tomorrow we will get up and do our last long walk of the trip. I'm still struggling with a bad cold so it's hard to get out in the 45 degree mist pre dawn and walk. This morning I dressed like an Eskimo until things warmed up.
Our diet will have to change dramatically after tomorrow. Today this is what I ate:
Half of a huge custard filled donut
Cafe con leche
Two pieces of French bread with butter and jam
Cafe con leche with sugar
Mixed nuts
Two Oreos and a soda
A hamburger with fries and mayo
Half a candy bar
Half a slice of Santiago torta with a cup of tea
A large mixed salad
A huge egg, ham and potato tortilla
Wine (albariño- a specialty of the region)
And this was a pretty light day, food-wise. You can get away with that when you walk 15 miles a day. As of Saturday, it's back to healthy eating, if we can do it here!
More from Santiago tomorrow!
