Arrived in Spain, Monday

Smooth flights, no problems. Arrived in Santiago de Compostela at about 10 a.m. Monday, after a 5:30 p.m. Sunday departure from Logan. (+6 hour time change here)

Walked around a bit, trying to get over jet lag. It's almost 8 p.m. here, time for businesses to close and people on way home from work. Tapas time at a local cafe/bar starts soon, followed by a light supper, anywhere between 10 - 11 p.m. Main meal of day is from 2-3 p.m., we  missed it today due to travel adjustments. In general, they are good hours for us, although not good for some tourists used to different meal schedules. ( aka, Gringos)

Still very light outside. You can hear gaiteros (bagpipers) and a harpist busking in the plazas. This is a region proud of its Celtic history.
