Hospitalero Day 3
3月18日, スペイン ⋅ ☁️ 50 °F
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 was dancing last night in the common room. Amazing you can walk 15 miles and still dance!

It is still cold here today, and the plumbing repairs are ongoing. The fuel oil man just came, and we have to wait until at least 3 pm to use the showers downstairs. We have no water at all right now.

Our repair volunteer took me to the grocery store today as he had to get some supplies in the nearby large town. We are stocked up, at least for now.もっと詳しく

Day 4

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, and many of the other pilgrims really admired his tenacity.

The repair work continues. We did get showers in the downstairs bathroom, and I cleaned those. We have water, but the convenient showers and bathrooms still are under construction and need to be cleaned up. It's a minor inconvenience, but it will result in much improved experiences for the future.

We also had a film crew here today scouting. Phil and the priest showed them around. A bricklayer will come soon to repair leaking roof tiles. Don't know if that will happen on our watch or not, but it is all good.もっと詳しく

Day 5
3月20日, スペイン ⋅ ☁️ 57 °F
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. BTW, you can watch us online. The Mass is recorded and then available the next day.

Look under Misa and push the button that says "ver."

Today, I am going to clean out the cleaning supply closet. It is a jumble of supplies, and it's hard to see what you have or need.

We have at least one pilgrim on the way as he called last night on the albergue cell phone in the middle of Mass (oops!) to see if we were open.

I'm going to town again tomorrow. Phil needs hearing aid batteries, and we need groceries and a charging cable for the head lamp.

I am cooking some Garbanzo beans. Either we will use them tonight, or I will make hummus with them. It takes too long for them to cook for supper in the short time we have to prepare. I soaked them last night.もっと詳しく

Day 6
3月21日, スペイン ⋅ ☁️ 55 °F
We slept poorly. There was a storm last night with lots of wind and rain.

We ended up with 12 pilgrims, plus one who was camping with his dog, who joined us for a shower, supper, Mass, and the Oracion meeting. The Italia s prepared supper. We had zucchini risotto, seared pork, salad and sautéed peppers.

Today, another volunteer took me to town to shop. I got more hearing aid batteries for Phil, some new wash tubs, and groceries. We will probably have chicken for supper. So far only 3 pilgrims at 3 pm.もっと詳しく

Day 7
3月22日, スペイン ⋅ ☁️ 48 °F
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 baked some chicken, but 2 chickens allowed everyone only a small piece. That's the problem with not knowing how many exactly to expect. We also had salad with eggs, and everyone ate pasta until they were full. Only a tiny bit left.

Here, if we want something baked, we have to take it to the bakery and pilgrims and then sing for their supper. Last night, we had Italian, German, and English songs. The baker puts funny outfits on the pilgrims who carry the food back. This year, it seems to be dance tutu's.

I smashed a finger in the door last night when the wind caught it, and I took a tumble today while cleaning, but I was ok. Phil is losing his voice, so I am trying to get him to stop talking to save it. Easier said than done!もっと詳しく

Day 8
3月23日, スペイン ⋅ ☁️ 46 °F
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 cooked some chicken thighs for the meat eaters. Another pilgrim shared his chicken, potato, carrot dish, which he'd carried with him. We had salad and then yogurts gor dessert. A young Frenchman brought thyme, which he had harvested along the way and shared it with everyone, too.

Phil's voice seems better today so hopefully he can resume his duties with the evening prayer service. I have done it the last 2 nights.

We have Mass today at 12:30. The fiesta last night didn't seem too festive or at least we did not hear it. It was raining which may have kept some away.

We will see haw many tonight. A week ago we had 20 pilgrims!もっと詳しく

Day 9 already
3月24日, スペイン ⋅ 🌧 48 °F
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 pouring down rain. Don't know if we'll get many more and if we do they will be cold and miserable. I am cooking up a stock pot of soup. I also made bread crumbs out of all the old bread with the food processor.

Phil's really fighting some kind of virus. I sent him to the pharmacy, and he's lying down now. Seems like he always gets something when we are here. I have a twinge of a sore throat, but holding up ok.もっと詳しく

旅行者So 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.

Day 10

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 is closed early today.

Last night, we had chicken schnitzel and creamed vegies in white wine with pasta. Salad and deviled eggs completed the meal. A Swiss firefighter and an American Mom teamed up to cook for 14 people.

It was rainy and cold yesterday. Today, it's been better. We already have 4 pilgrims, and more are on the way.もっと詳しく

Day 12
3月26日, スペイン ⋅ ☁️ 50 °F
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 we finally reached out to our mentor, Marina. She had another way to contact the priest, and he came right away to take the Ukrainian priest into the church.

We had a couple of Spainish men cooking last night. One was a translator and the other a student. They .ade a pista, which is a vegetable stew of sorts and meatballs with sauce. VERY tasty. The kitchen was a bit of a disaster layer, but that's ok. Great fun!

I went to the store today with the volunteer helper, Cesar, again. We spent almost 300 euros on food and supplies, but we are doing well with donations so far.

We have 10 in the house so far, and I imagine we will get a few more.もっと詳しく

旅行者Sound 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!

旅行者I don't see it. Hopefully another pilgrim is getting good use of it somewhere in the world.

旅行者Thank you for checking! I like to imagine it on a journey in a pilgrim's backpack somewhere in the world.

Day 13

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 in town. Susana and Chuchi have a bread business, but also make cakes and cookies.

Phil goes to get the bread right before we eat supper, and often it is warm from the oven. It fills pilgrims up, and it tastes good.

I have the sniffles now, too. Phil's on the mend, although we are both taking afternoon naps in shifts now the past few days. It's 1:30 here and no pilgrims yet, so we'll see what the afternoon brings.もっと詳しく
