Time is against me so I will come back and add photos but as this is the first internet for some days wanted to capture what I could.
In Ventosa my experience of the albergue was different as I was on my own. And different things happen when you are simply following your own rhythm.
I wandered through the kitchen on the way back from completing my laundry and two Korean girls I had shared a bunk room with a few stops back had bought a bottle of the ¨Rioja Pilgrim wine¨
The Spanish drink wine at every opportunity but Rioja is THE wine of Spain. Being diminutive Koreans they needed some help and insisted I stayed and ´got happy´with them. Always glad to make people happy I thoroughly enjoyed their company. Some Korean guy walked the Camino and wrote a book which is selling very well in Korea. It is the new craze for Koreans. These were well travelled Koreans with excellent English and we had a great hour together watching the laundry dry - doesn´t take long in the heat. I should say that other than disaster day en route to Logrono when I put a jacket on against the wind we have had excellent weather all the way and I haven´t worn even a jersey since I got here.
I then met up again with a French couple, Anita and Maurice. But more of them tomorrow

Hey Jen, keep them coming. Sorry to hear about the split but I sense it is the way of the Camino.

ReplyDeleteHey Camino Character - the question now is which character are you? - I guess that story will come out in due course.... can I assume that cougars would not have any interest in tenor's - and the cyclists are likely to team up with Hairbrush - although Hairbrush not likely to carry anything quite as small as a condom and definately not Crox! Go Hans....
