Our diets are definitely not the same as they are at home. We eat much more bread, cheese, and meat, not to mention fries, chips, nuts, dried fruit, cookies, and desserts in general. We do eat some fruit and veggies when we can but not nearly enough to satisfy Canada's food guide. Then there is the wine. So far none of us has had wine for breakfast. One does wonder how people actually lose weight on the Camino.
We saw some trees today that we could not identify. We wonder if they are eucalyptus as we have read in the Brierley book that we would pass some. We also keep seeing these small buildings on properties and we can't figure out what they are used for. We took pictures of both the trees and the small buildings. Perhaps some of you who have walked the Camino will have answers for us.
The miles are going down and we are still having a great time. Just over 60 km to go.
Wow. Almost there!!! Those trees are eucalyptus trees. You should actually be able to smell them and the bark peels off. You'll probably pass some more mature, taller ones soon. The little 'buildings/sheds' are called "Horreios." (spelling?) They are corn cribs. If you walk to Finisterre or Muxia you'll see lots more, all made of stone. Quite impressive. Looks like about only 3more days. Amazing you three. Dayton
