Day 6 continued...community dinner was great!

First course of Pilgrim's dinner at Hostel. It was a delicious sweet potatoes, onion, basil soup. This is Chris from Germany.  Cute, eh?

Second course of our meal. This is our room mate, Melanie, from Germany. Traveling alone, left her 3 kids with her husband at home. 

Group dinner of 14 pilgrims from Germany, France, Spain, USA (Washington State). 

The main course was a wonderful pasta dish. Dessert was a lemon custard. The meal included All the wine and food you could want provided by the two brothers that have owned the hostel for the past 14 years. 

After dinner, this young guy from Brazil (another cutie pie) played the guitar that was in the community room. Only 4 of us stayed up past 9:30 pm to listen to him. Lights out at 10:00pm, so we didn't have much time. Robin Nott would have been so proud of me. They knew John Denver so I played "leaving on a jet plane" and the other 2 sang along with me in the chorus.  That was pretty cool since they know very little English. ;)

Tomorrow we have THE most difficult hike of our trip. We travel 9.5 miles uphill with a 2000 foot elevation.  I tried to convince Sam to send his pack on the taxi to rest his back/shoulders for a day but he doesn't want to do that gig. 

Thanks for following our story. We really appreciate your time to log on and listen to our journey on the Camino. 

Buenas noches,
M/S

  2. Hi Mary!!! So it's probably not a suprise that I am late in following you- I think, no, I KNOW, that I will be late to my own funeral. You are unbelievable. I am so happy that you are physically well but your bed bug search would make me never want to lie down. Then again, I am a fragile flower! Give me the beach and a good book and an adult beverage and I am a happy girl. Will look forward to follwoing you everyday from now on. Safe travels, my dear friend. XXOO
