Hey everybody.
We are doing great! Three more days of walking before we reach Santiago. Can you believe it? I certainly can´t. I have a strange combination of feelings while walking, now. I feel happy that the end is close, but cautious because I´m sure that I´ve been far too lucky so far in terms of injuries. Hopefully I can make it there in one piece.
So I´ve lost a part of myself these last few days. Turns out, when you pay 3 Euros for a night at a hostel, you get what you pay for. Yesterday, I went to take a much needed shower and something was missing. I tried as hard as I could to find out how to close the shower stalls to no avail. No doors.
So there I was, in all of my Canadian glory, showering in front of other people. God, it´s really hard. If you´ve gone your whole life associating the act of showering with privacy, it´s difficult when the latter is lacking.
But, after about 30 seconds, I was fine. I was used to it. It´s OKAY.
However, today we did the same thing and paid 3 Euros for our hostel. We were tired and, apparently, didn´t learn our lesson.
Today´s shower situation was almost too much for me, but I couldn´t just live in my filth. The shower was CO-ED, with no doors. My LIFE!!!!
Becky and I ended up waiting until the men cleared outta there and then went in to do our business. What can I say? I´m no longer bashful.
FYI -- we´re in a town called Palas de Rei.
See you soon!

Every day seems to bring a new adventure.

A little less discussion on nudity and a little more about the weather, culture, geography....
Will make you guys a prime rib with yorkshire pudding when you're back.

Coed showers at a hostel ?? I've never heard of such a thing... Sounds like quite and adventure!
Forget Co-ed showers, for $3 a night, I'm surprised there was a roof. I'm proud of you for going up against your strongest fear. lol
