I’m writing this in the municipal
hostel in Nájera, but I won’t be able to upload it until sometime later. This
hostel operates on voluntary donations instead of charging a fee to stay here,
but for some reason it charges an expensive fee by the minute for using WiFi.
After I wrote yesterday’s blog
entry, we had a communal supper at the hostel. Here we are seared around the
table enjoying some red wine after the meal. I am missing, because I took the
picture.
I walked 17.4 kilometers or 10.8
miles. The sun is shining today, and I wanted to get here in time to wash some
clothes and dry them in the sun. Along the way I met many of the people I have
been seeing along the way, and most of them are staying here at the municipal hostel
including Lydia, the young petite lady from Tucson, who is also staying at this
hostel. I have to be careful what I write about my fellow pilgrims now, because
some of the have started reading my blog.
I can’t stop without mentioning
the sleeping arrangements here, which are the most intimate I have experienced.
Not only do men and women sleep in the same dorm but the beds are jammed
together two by two, so you are effectively sleeping in a double bed with a
stranger, who may or may not be of your gender.
