The fog has lifted in Portomarin...

If you read yesterday's post, you may remember me talking about the cottomball like "mist" that I saw coming around the mountain. Well today, I walked in that mist and it felt as dense as it looked yesterday from the mountainside. Here are a couple of examples of just how dense this stuff was. It was that dense that at one point, I looked down at my t-shirt and wondered where all the lint balls had come from. I ran my finger along the area and it turns out it was condensation from the mist had actually formed on the front of my shirt. The other example of how dense the mist was is how many spider webs there were. Normally, you never see spiderwebs (in this quantity) but this morning, I could see every spiderweb along the path. It one area, they had planted a field of what looked like scotch pines (the Spanish version). These trees were so filled with spiderwebs which were filled with condensation from the mist, they actually looked like Christmas tree decorations. The only thing missing were a strand of twinkling lights. The downside of this much mist is that it was difficult to take many pictures.
The one picture I did get was the one of the marker indicating I was 100kms from Santiago de Compostela. In the Galician region that I am now in, they have installed these cement pillars every 0.5kms to tell you how far you are from Santiago. At this point, depending on which book or marker you read/look at, I am 90-95kms from the final destination. I am still on track to arrive in 4 days.
If anyone is interested, I should be arriving in the square in front of the Cathedral in Santiago de Compesttla at around 10am (local time). That would make it around 4am Ontario time. The reason I mention this is that thte is a website that actually hosts several webcams that cover the square. Just a thought?!
Adios for now...
