Lunch at a rest stop on the A6 highway to Galicia. Not the greatest food in the world...

OK, so most of the trip we spent taking photos and showing them to each other. We're American tourists, we're obligated.

We didn't know what it was, but we took a picture of it anyway. Lots of neat old buildings, some looking like castles, others like churches, all along the way.

Gotta take a break. Sam's not feeling well.

A nice hotel, the Galicia Palace, where we stayed.


Everyone has been traveling for more than a day, we're dead tired, it's late at night, it's raining... so naturally we get the scenic tour.


And so into the night we go....
