First an update on the bike accident. I ran into the couple that helped, the man with his cell phone and the woman was a nurse said the ambulance came took the cyclist to the town. Several hours later they saw the cyclist biking down the road. News travels on the Camino fast.
As for the Galicia the culture has changed. For one thing the graves are wrapped around the church instead of behind a stone wall just out of town. The small churches have started to be open too. A few towns ago I talked to a priest sitting
outside. I asked him if he went around on Sunday mornings doing services in the small churches in the countryside. He said only to some of the bigger churches. In this area, he said, there's three of us at the main church in Palas de Rei.
Here's a picture of the graves to the right, they line one side of the church property like a fence. Most of the graves have artificial flowers.
Galicia is a farming region. Almost every house had a structure I wondered about. I took several pictures. At one of the pilgrim stops I asked a local. He
pointed to corn hanging from the roof and said storage. These corn storage structures come in many different designs. To me they looked like some kind of temple. The points at the top are also on top of chimneys of houses. Definatly a Galicia design.
Two more days of walking. Then three nights in Santiago.
