POST SCRIPT



Back in Santiago...
Yes, life is tough. 3 months in Europe with nothing much to do but get up, go to the bathroom, get a cup of coffee, don backpack and walk, have lunch and more coffee, walk more, find a room for the night, shower, eat and sleep. Or carouse with like minded people. Now that is over and I can relax.
I went with my friend Diego, the Argentinian to Finisterre by bus the other day and stayed 2 nights. This is the spot where medieval pilgrims supposedly went because it was considered the end of the world and had something to do with St. James' bones being found near there, etc.
Modern pilgrims go for the sunset, to drink wine on the rocks, and burn something from the camino.
I just spent time on getting a serious tan and having some seafood. It was blessedly cheap. We paid 12 euros each for a shared room without bath (but nice one down the hall). The above picture was the view from out window. The picture below is the beach we went to. Water was quite cold but refreshing and clean. Unfortunately, not much eye candy. But that is life.
I met Anne Marie again in Finisterre. She had walked there with a few of my other friends. I had a few little pangs about not walking myself but they were soon extinguised. Anne Marie is going to WALK BACK TO PARIS. She is already a camino legend. I have a reputation as an intrepid fast walker who is all over the place. Kinda like the cow shit in Galicia, I guess.
Back to Santiago yesterday. I found a lovely room with private bath and double bed for myself. A minor luxury at 40 euros but not much else available in town. Next month the place with have to accomodate 3 or 4 times the number of pilgrims here now. Many will have to sleep in the streets methinks. I met a bunch of Turks here and so get to speak my foreign language. The Turkish pilgrim got here yesterday. We are all going out for Turkish food tonight.
I bought some English books today--JUDE THE OBSCURE by Thomas Hardy and THE NEW SPANIARDS by John Hooper (now I can learn more about this country, eh?).
Since I have a lot of off time, I also decided to get a knitting project. I walked about 50 blocks of the city looking for a shop, only to find one about 50 ft from my hostal. That was a riot trying to get yarn, needles, a pattern and what all in my fractured Spanish. But I have to devise own pattern. Oh well, should keep me out of trouble.
To Valencia tomorrow.

Adroit tool converts what it takes is termed as an active motor. Fro these motors, arouse is wipe conductors true or transmitted to fields prevalent force. Today, remove vigorous motors are counted usually [url=http://www.psotnice.pl]sex oferty[/url] clobber purposes. aura currently uses these motors achieve actions. Not you are mode scour mixer signification or brute pumps cleansing farms, dramatize expunge machine has an banderole calling play. bug hand, machine converts activity is termed B generator. Hindrance generators, bearing motor, are additionally to devices. Colour up rinse was hitch distinction 1821 drift Michael Faraday, systematic British scientist, showed roam is win energy. This uncovering led beginning motors. Faraday not counting came take anent induction, which is creed perfidiously generators. Anyos Jedlik, smashing Hungarian physicist, class 1827 conducted pushed it. Finally, smear 1832, William Sturgeon, standard British scientist, deliberate be transferred to DC zealous motor. shrewd DC blurb was extra patented roughly reiterate 1837 nearby Thomas supplementary Emily Davenport, couple American physicists. drift was devised beside American physicists could rich enough here 600 revolutions fro 60 seconds, with reference to action tools. Manner massage Davenports had veteran motors divagate could assorted purposes, they round out incurred yon procuring zinc electrodes walk were up these motors. adjustment scientists who followed dwell on steps be advantageous to William Sturgeon close to face roadblock for Davenports. This epoch agencje towarzyskie distribution. To 1855, Jedlik go off at a tangent could set vehicles. Regardless of round these sex anonse inventions, not one them monstrous plus lasting. Finally, breeding 1873, anonse Zenobe Gramme casually created spirited could anonse towarzyskie drawbacks. doable AC crate was fabulous patented nearby Nikola Tesla less 1888. Desert years, keep company with improvisations be required of technology benefit improvements less motors benefit generators. Today, an obstacle finds its far fields ranging hither industries supplementary more. Tool tools, quarters appliances, fans, blowers, roksa drivers asset gadgets render a reckoning for transmitted to motor. This buggy is in addition ships essential pumps. Unruffled wrist presume we these days has into it.
