Finisterre to Cee 11/27/23

 

Hola.  We are leaving Finisterra (English) or Fisterra (Spanish) en route to Cee.



Look at all the seagulls.  It looked like a party.


Dennis and I had to cross a small stream of clean seawater that was headed back into the ocean.  The water was about 16 inches deep.  There was no jumping across it. I finally accepted that my boots would be wet and crossed it.  Dennis didn't want to get his shoes wet, so he sought an alternative.  I hiked about a half mile, looking back periodically, and D wasn't progressing.  I walked back and could see him, so I walked further ahead. After about 2 miles of this back and forth, suddenly, there was no Dennis.  I couldn't imagine what happened to him. I must have looked so concerned that a man on the beach started to help me look.  Dennis had decided to walk through a bog of canes so thick that he had to strong-arm them out of his way, all because he saw a bridge in the distance.  At one point, his shoes sank so low that he thought he was in quicksand. When I finally found him, not only were his shoes wet, but his pants were wet and muddy. We wasted about 45 minutes, and I wasted about 2 miles of hiking. The moral of the story is that sometimes it is just easier to endure a little water than walk through the bog and scare your wife!


Walking along the beach today was glorious.  I love the sound of the waves crashing.

Looking close!. You can see this dog with a broom and a dustpan.  I assume this is a lost dog poster, and I hope he finds his dog.  Sounds like a clever dog.


Dennis is hot on the trail.


Beautiful inlets.


From the ocean side to the woodsy trail.  There was much up, but it was a good hike.


Entering the city limits of Cee, (population 7,712) where Hotel Larry is located. We made many bad jokes about staying at Hotel Larry before we arrived.  It was quite a nice hotel with very friendly owners.


The shell sign is located on this mosaic column.


A tribute to pilgrims overlooking the bay.  I am sure this pilgrim must be from Jamaica because of his build and his attitude. Mon.


Are you tired of seeing Galacian Soup photos?  This was the best of the soups that I have had.  This one had sausage and pork in it, and it was scrumptious.


I don't know what type of mushrooms these were, but they were amazing.  They were cooked in olive oil with a fair amount of garlic.  YUM!


Our last course was Merluza (Hake) with real fries cooked in something awful like duck fat or lard.  The fish was perfect.  I was too full for dessert, but D got a piece of chocolate cake, and I felt bad for him having to eat it all by himself, so I pitched in like any good wife should.  LOL

Until tomorrow.  Much love and prayers!
