Just to let you all know that my leg is much better this morning - the swelling appears to have gone down, and the pain is almost gone. going to stay the night here in Arca again just to prepare for the final day´s walking - 10 miles to Santiago. I will probably stay there for 2 days, perhaps get to Finisterre (the end of the world) for a day´s visit, and then hopefully I can get an earlier flight home. Will post again from Santiago !!!! PS .... I have now had a great lunch of wine, bread, fied anchovies (EJ will be proud of me) and sauteed chicken. It´s a wonder how good food can make you feel - my first real meal in perhaps 5 days. Although you get a full bottle of wine delivered to your table, you do not need to drink it all. Three glasses were two more than I needed, but I really do feel great right now. Think I can do Santiago tomorrow. If this makes no sense, blame it on the wine which is considered a food group in Spàin. Hasta.
