Albergue Pequeño Potala

J&K were already at the albergue when I arrived, as expected. What I didn't expect was to find Jinjoo there too! When I first met her she was walking 20k max per day, and finding it hard. Now she's doing a lot more. She still leaves early and walks very slow, and she makes it. I was very happy to see her again.
At the albergue there was also a German couple, Carlos & Sibila, and a young French woman, Nelly. It was a small place, and the 7 of us had dinner together.
Unfortunately Nelly couldn't speak English, which was the only language common to everyone else. She was sitting far from me at the table and missed most of the conversation. Once the meal was over she went to bed, while the rest of us kept talking.
I felt sorry for her and wanted to help her feel included, but if I had to translate we would lose the flow, and if I had a side chat with her, I was going to miss out on the group interaction. I let it go.
I was the next one to go to bed, more than an hour later. The others followed soon after.Read more
