This morning I got up at around 10 and as Carleana was still sleeping, I got dressed and went for a cappuccino and something to eat. I brought my journal and my sketchpad to get caught up my adventures. I was in the cafe/bar for about 45 minutes and it was pure heaven just not to be moving and getting a chance to unwind. I was so tired from the traveling that all I wanted last night was a shower and bed!
When I got back upstairs, Carleana was up and ready for some breakfast. And who am I to say no to a second cappuccino?!? We went back to the room and got organized to go out for a bit of shopping. There weren't too many places open but we found a couple. We went for a walk around the parts of town we hadn't seen. As we were walking we ran into some French pilgrims who were looking for directions and I was able to help them. The woman even complimented me on my French! Then we made our way to the church of Santa Marina where I lit a candle for my Camino.
We made our way to the Pilgrim store and got our walking sticks, shells and a few souvenirs. The back to the room and some lunch. Which was part good and part disaster: the ham and cheese tray I had was good but the fish was in edible and the dessert was good. And of course a cappuccino. After lunch we spent the entire afternoon at the table and no one came out to kick us out. I wrote in my journal, did a zentangle and worked on embroidering a baby blanket I had brought with me.
Finally, we went upstairs, freshed up and went for a walk before dinner. We had dinner at the restaurant in the hotel. We split an appetizer which was really good, then we both had the pasta with shrimp ( I couldn't eat the shrimp) and I had a creme caramel with a cappuccino (that made 4 for the day which I would pay for as I had trouble getting to sleep that night). We went back to our room and did a few things then turned in.
