In this town, I met another pilgrim from South Korea. His name is Lee and he brought wine and cheese and popcorn to share with everyone. He said he hadn’t seen any other pilgrims in 3 days so I think we was quite happy to have others around. We talked in the Alburgue quite late into the evening! Meeting people has been quite nice, but it’s been harder to keep up with this travel journal at night though. Lee doesn’t speak great English but really enjoys saying very humanist statements and seeing where that leads us like ‘I don’t think anyone is truly evil’ or ‘I think K-pop has unfair standards’. Margarida seems very interested in American politics but didn’t seem to want to ask me anything directly, so instead she asked me to describe what the American national identity is.

I enjoyed some Bifanas for dinner which is essentially pork and bread. It’s very filling but quite simple, so I added some cheese to mine!Read more
