October 23, Fisterra. Bye, bye Rosa

I know everyone has heard the story that ancient Europeans originally considered the world to be flat. Well, I am now in the village at the end of that flat world. According to rumor, if you went any further than this, you would just plain drop off the side of the world. Last night we went up to the lighthouse and caught the sunset at 7:44pm

Today I walked around this village and in addition to seeing quite a few bedraggled pilgrims I enjoyed the view of the sea

And the town from the waterfront

This little village reminds me so much of San Felipe BCN. There is a Malecón with restaurants and bars, even a Bar Miramar

I am alone now. My friend Rosa from Holland has begun her journey home to the Netherlands😌 she has been a wonderful traveling companion and I will miss her.

It seems weird but I have one more place to go before I turn around. Tomorrow in the rain I will take the bus to Muxia for one night.

One of the things that I have learned on this trip is that people who don’t speak the same language only appear to be stuck up and unfriendly. If you truly try to engage them, even with a little bit of their language, they will try to use the little bit of yours that they know. I had a really good time last night doing this with our waiter. At first he seemed aloof but once I kept trying to communicate with the little Spanish I know, he did the same with his English. We both agreed that it is good and fun to practice!
