South America is really big and I have never been there. I am leaving the safety of my teaching job to explore 5 spanish-speaking countries and to walk in the footsteps of Charles Darwin on the Galapagos Islands. I am hoping that neither the perilous altitudes of Ecuador, the ravenous midges in the Peruvian rainforest or the crazy Bolivian bus drivers will kill me... I will doubtless meet other people on the edge of sanity who feel the need to wander away from safety. I hope we can be friends.

Galicia
I do believe I have just arrived in Galicia. The climb up from Lubian was shady, steep and I was tormented by flies. I have been bitten and I even swallowed one. So tomorrow I will try if eating loads of garlic doesn't deter the buggers! Otherwise it is a beautiful day and I have no aches. The view is superb but the Sun makes a photo of the view from here impossible.
