| Getting a tan! |
Oof, well, we had a HUGE blast in Galicia, and it was so beautiful, we couldn't help posing with just about everything we saw! So this'll be a photo-heavy post.

| Follow the shells on the Camino! |
We left Madrid Thursday night, after Ramiro's class and hopped on our short flight (under an hour) to Santiago de Compostela, the destination for people (pilgrims?) walking the Camino de Santiago. It's apparently the third most important holy site for the Catholic Church, but a lot of people do it for more secular/spiritual/tourist reasons, too.

| Views on the Camino! |
The weekend was mostly vacation; there was very little actual programming. We went to an old castle that is apparently knows as the Versailles of Spain (We'll let you know how it compares to the real deal...), walked a couple of hours worth of the Camino, and some pretty spectacular seaside cliffs. Plus we ate a lot of seafood.

| The wind in our hair! |
The nightlife in Santiago is, unsurprisingly, a little lackluster, but we also didn't give it much of a try. We all went straight to bed upon arrival Thursday night, and then Friday and Saturday we stayed in with the gals to introduce Hannah and Alexandra to Reign, the CW's current masterpiece. Not very wild, but a lot of fun.
Tomorrow, Paris!
