A gradual return to reality

We continue to shed the cocoon of our Camino experience. Chuck in Santiago:

Chuck now:

He concedes that he's more comfortable this way.

We did a 12k day yesterday to enjoy the beach and the Pablo Casals museum in Sant Salvador.

My mother was a huge fan as cellist/conductor Casals had strong ties to Puerto Rico. His mother was from Rio Piedres, and he lived his last years there in exile with his Puerto Rican wife, protesting the civil unrest in Spain. I have vivid childhood memories of listening to his music. We walked clear across Spain and this was the best museum we visited.

View from his house on the sea:

At his birthplace in El Vendrell:

    Once again, wonderful photos. Yes, Chuck, you do look more comfortable, now, and…younger! You clean up well!

    Love the photos and Chuck’s transformation. Since our Rewirement, Matt has started to look a little like Chuck in his earlier photo. Hmmm. I wonder if a long walk is in my future.
    Love the pics. Did not know Casals had ties to PR! Cool.
