We ended up with 13 pilgrims last night. It was a festive atmosphere and a Spaniard, and a woman from the US teamed up to fix supper.
When we prepare supper, we play festive music and there wasWeiterlesen

10 pilgrims. It was cold, foggy, and rainy. One pilgrim is walking only with the clothes he has on. He refused extra socks. He does have a string bag with a blanket. It's a pilgrimage, not a vacation,Weiterlesen

We had 8 pilgrims last night. One Italian was on his 17th Camino, and his buddy age 73 was on his first Camino! It was St Joseph's day, and our two younger Spaniards were asked to do readings at Mass.Weiterlesen

We had 16 pilgrims last night. It was a group effort on supper with Italians, Americans, and Germans helping. We cooked and ate about 6 pounds of dry pasta, and most if it is all gone! We also bakedWeiterlesen

We had only 5 pilgrims last night, so it was quieter. One young German woman and I cooked supper. She made a wonderful creamed vegetable dish, which we served over rice.
I made the rice and cookedWeiterlesen

We ended up with 8 pilgrims last night, although most arrived quite late. One came in at 7:30, although he called to let me know he was on the way. We have one already today. It's pretty much pouringWeiterlesen
ReisenderSo sorry to hear that Phil is unwell. It sounds like you two are doing excellent work. Rick and I have such fond memories of this albergue. It provides a true pilgrim experience. I am sending you a private email tonight.

Today is a local holiday in Grañón. Phil still isn't feeling great, but I walked a mile out to the chapel where they had a special Mass at 1 pm. The church was packed. Everything but the bar isWeiterlesen

We had a priest from the Ukraine stay with us last night. It was a little crazy as he came right at supper and wanted permission to do a Mass. Our local priest didn't respond to us right away, so weWeiterlesen
ReisenderSound like a great time! Is Phil feeling better? I am in Germany right now rather unexpectedly. I was hoping to send you an email but realized I don't have your address with me so I will put the message here! A bit of a story: in 2015 when we stayed in Granon we accidentally left behind a small red New Testament. It would have my son's name in it, Terry Blaskovits. I have often wondered over the years if it found its way into the bookcase. It can certainly remain there but if you have a minute and the inclination to solve a mystery I would love to know if it is in the albergue library!
ReisenderI don't see it. Hopefully another pilgrim is getting good use of it somewhere in the world.
ReisenderThank you for checking! I like to imagine it on a journey in a pilgrim's backpack somewhere in the world.

We had 12 last night, and the Italians cooked pasta with meat sauce and pasta and lentils in tomato sauce. Bread is an essential part of the Spanish meal, and we have a traditional bakery here inWeiterlesen
