Tui

It was a short walk to Tui across the Minho River that devides Portugal from Spain . We found an abergue run by an organization throughout Spain . The stay was not free, it cost 5 Euros per/person. However, it was clean, had good beds with sheets and pillowcases, hand sanitizer and HEAT.



It was managed by a nice lady named Teressa. We talked a lot with her. She helped us get our Spanish phone. She seemed to like to talk and we had a long conversation. She chose the picture of Bleeding Heart flowers.



We had two other pilgrims in our dormatory that night. One was an older man named Fernando (a popular name) and a girl about Cesily’s age named Gabriel. Gabriel and I ended up talking politics way to late into the night and I paid dearly for my missed sleep the next day.



She chose the picture with the tourquoise muchrooms on a rock. She was just doing the Camino to take up time while she waited for the school term to be over at a school she wanted to teach music at. She had a guitar in a case with her. She and Fernando were off like shots early the next morning and we never caught up with them again.



In the morning we had to be out by 8:00. So we were off to Porriño
