Pilgrims pause in a Roman, modern, and woman affirming city

We've just spent a couple of rest days in Lugo, once Lucas Augusti, a city proud of its Roman origins. 

Its intact Roman wall encircles the old city. 

Outside the wall there's a bustling modern city. 

Meanwhile, the local high end Galician brew (excellent) has a feminine tilt ...

And the city harbors some kick-ass feminists.

On the road to Santiago again tomorrow.

Yes, the little black critter is a dog, but it is not hard to see who runs this yard.  

A few ancient chapels along the way

   

  

    

Today we crossed both the halfway point and the border between Asturias and Galicia. We walk, we wash, we eat, we sleep. The life of a peregrino is both repetitive and full.
