Awoke to small amounts of earlier risers in the albergue. Didn't really bother us as we were spending our day in Muxia. A lovely little town. Wandered a bit looking for our "proper" coffee spot. Eventually friends joined us and we had a nice chat. A visit to an out-of-the-way pasteleria was next. Goodies! We were also blessed with being there on market day so we acquired some fresh food and then headed for Punta de Barca (the point!). We love hanging out on the giant boulders watching the waves crash. It was a bit windy and overcast but we didn't seem to mind much. Our friends, Anna and Chloe, were out there and we said our final goodbyes laced with laughter and tears. We so loved spending time with these two. Afterwards, we sat and enjoyed our delicacies. Eventually, we walked to the summit and had some reflection time. We find it hard to wrap our minds around what we have experienced. It's very hard to put into words and frankly, not many can truly understand. Went back to town and spent a little more time at our spot, "A Marina", before catching the bus back to Santiago. Upon arrival, we checked into our accomodations, San Martin Hospedaria, an old monastery next to the cathedral. Ran around doing some last minute things before having dinner with Catarina, our friend from Sweden we met two years earlier. In the morning we catch the train east for Astorga, a town we passed through on our first Camino but saw little of due to our arrival time and on a Sunday.
