Respite on the Camino

I got to walk with more wonderful peregrinos today. Beautiful people from Kentucky, Colm, a recent transplant from Ireland, and Tessa.

As the weather continues to be near perfect for walking through the wooded trails of today’s Camino, I found myself in wonderful accommodations this evening. It’s actually about 10 km from the trail. The owner, a very nice lady, picked me up in Aruza and brought me to her “hotel” of maybe six rooms. I miss socializing with other pilgrims this evening – there is only one other couple here so far – but a quiet evening is kind of nice!

The owner and I had a few laughs trying to communicate, each of us using Google Translate. There is a nice grape arbor, dogs, chickens (Maybe one is dinner!) and a rooster crowing. And good local wine of course. 20170928_145039

Lesson for today: Be surprised and delighted by the unexpected. Life’s an adventure, each moment to be cherished!

Ben Camino everyone,

Tom

Your hotel looked so Italian, and a great place to stay. Sounds like your trip is as insightful and meaningful as it was last time. Loved the grape arbor picture.
