One word to describe this city, beautiful. In every sense of the word, just extremely beautiful. The cathedral was amazing (and I heard a spanish mass!). I spent a long time just walking around in this dazed sense of awe.
Antonio (a very cool italian guy from my hostel who spoke french) and I went to a contemporary short-film festival last night held in the old town market area till midnight...although I admit to not understanding the good majority of the spanish (though some were subtitled), it was still an enlightening night out.
Today, on Antonio´s recommendation, I went to try "Langostinos" which he described as being amazing fish...it turned out to be massive shrimp. Eight huge dead shrimp staring up at me (clearly I´m not a sea-food person). But having paid 10€ for it, I ate it anyways.
I also bought my first THING today! That´s right, until now I have not shopped at all, and let me tell you, I have been tempted. I bought an amazing, one of a kind, artisan-made leather messenger purse at a little market vendor in Santiago because I needed something to remember this place by, that, and the purse is fabulous and occasionally my female instincts get the best of me.
Im Italy, I am totally buying shoes.
Next today I´m off to Portugal (Lisbon) via Vigo and Porto. A night of train-riding awaits me, so I shall go find a bakery and stock up on some provisions.
Till next time,
Petra (who now has a messenger bag and is super-content with it!)
