8 September 2026 Santiago de Compostela: Travel Day!

 


We were up at 8 and out by 10.  Leftover pizza for breakfast worked out as planned so we could clean, pack, shower, take out the trash and all the many things that needed to be done before leaving.  Just before 10, we took the bags down and I stepped outside to watch for the representative who was getting out of the car at that very moment.  We walked our bags over to the train station and there was a train waiting for us.  The ride to the airport was easy and only 40 minutes.  We had five hours to waste before we got on the plane so we sat at a restaurant as soon as we got into the airport.   Tea, croissants, lunch sandwiches and water gave us the energy needed for a olympic level of people watching.  Finally it was time to check the bags in, go through security and sit some more.

This shows the range of folks waiting.  Young ones glued to the phone and older ones slumped over and fast asleep
