A Quiet Day

Stef drove to Santiago to pick up a friend who had finished the camino (Nikolas from Eugenia’s party) and take him to his village near Tineo, so I spent most of today alone. I slept until noon (I was awake till 2 a.m. talking to Alexander) then did some laundry. I booked my hotel in Madrid for when I return and played around on the computer a bit.

Around 4 p.m. I went for a walk in the forest and was gone about two hours. I did more laundry and started dusting the downstairs. Stef came home and said he hadn’t eaten all day so I started dinner. Stef had left the garlic at Eugenia’s and had to go get it. Dinner was Pasta and Spinach Pesto topped with Fried Mushrooms and Hard-Boiled Egg.

Luz-Dary and her daughter Jessica came over and brought No Cheese Cheesecake. It was pretty good. After dinner we played Parchesi. Jessica won and Luz-Dary came in second. Poor Stef lost big time. It was actually kind of brutal. Tomorrow Stef is going to buy apples so I can make Curried Butternut Squash and Lentil Stew.
