This beautiful Spanish port city is a featured stop for many traveler's pilgrimage for the "Way of Saint James" on their way to Santiago de Compostela. It is a pilgrimage I promised myself, and Mila's aunt, that I would take in my life.

Anyways, Tia Thelma showed us a great time in the city. I tried a tapas that consisted of octopus cooked in white rice stained in its own black ink - delicious. But even better was the mounds of ice cream we ate on our way to the car. As Tia Thelma said, "there is always an answer to the why;" when I asked why it was so good in Santander, her reply, "it's a dairy producing region." (See previous post).

Although we dropped the...

I love this city, and I was excited about seeing it again, but it also meant the end of my European tour... sigh. All good things come to an end, as the cliche goes. Even though Paris was the end of EU tour, it was where Eddie and I took...
