Wednesday, October 2, 2013. Well, the albergue in Foncebadon delivers a better breakfast than any other I’ve stayed so far.  No eggs, but chai, cereal, lots of fruit, yogurt, and the requisite bread, of course.  And meditation/yoga music in the … Continue reading →

Friday, October 18, 2013.  I am back in Santiago after going to the end of the world (Finisterre and Muxia), and am staying in a beautiful monastery-turned-hotel, which I will write more about later, but I deliberately came back and … Continue reading →
