Mountain region is so lovely. The small villages are so cute and quaint. Is that redundant? Anyway, thankfully the rumor was wrong about possible rain. Rocky inclines and downhills would've been even more treacherous wet, and I already had a couple close calls. So I survived that, the Pyrenees, have no foot injuries or issues so far and what happens?? I was in a candy store tonight when I was walking around town in my Toms and a broken cabinet door fell on my foot!! It hurt. A lot. The skin broke and I've got a welt and bruise at point of impact. Might have to moleskin it tomorrow because I lace my boots pretty tight. How ridiculous, huh? Luckily, I had chosen to stay in a hostel tonight since it's a bigger city and I hadn't since Estella(!). I am currently resting in the privacy of my own room. Awesome. :D

In 32 days, I have walked from the mountain border to the ocean. One more day and I reach "land's end," Finisterre. Then you can call me Forrest, Forrest Gump, because I just...

I had heard that they give the pilgrims who earn the compostela a shout out so pushed myself to arrive today so I can hear it in mass tomorrow. I'll be taking my first break day tomorrow to check out the sights and pilgrim watch before...
