Crazy night last night! We found beer, snack food and then dinner. Dinner was dismal! Looked like a good possibility, but alas no. It was pouring, thunder and lightening and we are off to find the grocery store! Found the yogurt, bananas and red wine! :-) Headed back to the albergue and found the kitchen; lots of stories and giggling! Around 6ish head for quiet time and bed! There are 2 new fellows in our room. One sound a sleep in the bunk over mine and the other getting his bed ready.
I woke up with a start to my bed moving! The fellow on the top bunk had decided that it was time to put sheets on his bed (even though everyone else was asleep and the room dark) and was having difficulty! After lots of noise, banging, and him sighing heavily he decided it was a good idea to take his mattress off! Geez Louise! Anyway, I had had enough and got up and helped him! He kept saying "sheets don't fit", My patience was leaving me! I was saying "oh yes they will!", as each of us are putting the corners of the sheets on the dang mattress while holding it off of the floor! What a gong show! :-) Finally it is done, he thanks me and goes to bed! Pam (from Montana) is killing herself laughing! It was 8:36pm.
Heard the rain in the night and was so hoping we would have a break tomorrow! Am up at 6:30, albergue is pretty quiet. My clothes are still wet so find the dryer! After a slow start we are finally off! Wet start to the day, warm though! Walked through pretty countryside, found a cafe, warm coffee!:-) A little further on a road stand selling fruit, even raspberries! 1€ for approx. 1/2 cup! Carried on! Up hills, down hills, more uphill! Rain stopped, sky is still cloudy although a tiny bit of blue! The walk is long for me today! It could be my lack of sleep last night! :-)
Am walking with the US girls, a pilgrim from Vermont, and 4 from Spain. We stop and get water at a tiny cafe at the bottom of a hill. The path has been along a paved road (am not liking the walking on pavement bit) and we now have a big hill and then a steady incline into Arzua! We keep walking and after winding past some nice looking homes we are now in suburbia. It is starting to rain again and we opt to find a bed! The first albergue and pension we find are full! The second has beds, so a quick discussion and Montana, Idaho and I are sharing a room with three beds! Quite the maze to get to our room, up stairs, across a terrace, through a restaurant, out the front door, in the door right next and up,more stairs! Shower, laundry, nap now off to find food. Find a restaurant, have some boring soup and bread. It rained and rained, stopped long enough to look for a grocery store - closed and get back under a roof! Back at the albergue.
No pictures today!
