What a wonderful gift to have a break day! I had a massage and feel my body resting. This morning I strolled around Tui – felt lost without my boots and my hiking poles! I just wanted to enjoy a bit of the city. The picture of the west door of the cathedral is well-known – picturing everyone from Moses to King Solomon and Queen of Sheba. I purchased a book on the Portuguese Camino that really begins in Tui. I’m enjoying reading about the history in a “folksy manner.” For instance, when the journey tomorrow is described the author states, “the Church of Santa Clara is usually open but the Convent of Clarissa cannot be visited, there are nuns inside!”
The rest of the day I relaxed, reading the Remembering of our sister Carola and catching up on some Netflix. I’m getting used to the restaurants opening in the evening at 7:30 or 8! There were many dining outside – it was in the upper 50s. Too cold for me so I dined inside.
I’ll be rested tomorrow and ready for the next 7 days!
