The power wasn’t back on when we got up this morning. We had planned to get off an hour earlier than usual because a warm sunny day was predicted. But, the sun comes up late here in Spain. So, since we didn’t have lights, we got up at our usual 7:00 and it was still pretty dark outside. We packed with very little light and got off around 7:45 hoping we hadn’t left anything behind in the dark apartment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We walked an hour or so and found an open bar for breakfast. They didn’t have electricity but their gas stove was working. We ordered eggs and bacon on toast from their menu and it turned out to be our usual fried eggs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We walked another hour or so and found another open bar for coffee and …. they had electricity! The power was back. Yay! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each of these bars were in tiny rural villages. It’s so great to come across them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was a nice walking day on the Camino. Pretty views, lots of small villages and dairy farms. At one point we got to walk through a small herd of cattle on the path. We had to walk right in the middle of them. My heart was racing but it’s always a fun thing to do. The herder at the end was laughing and joking with us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are staying in a private room in an albergue tonight (Albergue A Toqueira in As Seixas). We were relieved they had electricity. The owner told us they had to close yesterday. No lights, no running water, all the food going bad. They have a little bar\/cafe and are the only place in town for food open today. We will have her menu del d\u00eda for dinner tonight. She’s been working hard all day. We are sitting blogging just outside the kitchen. It sure smells good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the second bar we stopped at. They didn’t have espresso machines. Hot coffee in one kettle, hot milk in the other.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
