This morning at 06:00 we were having breakfast with our new-found friend Felipe and MariMar in their house. Felipe insisted on coming with us to Escalona and we set off just after 06:30. Felipe talked non-stop all the way, eager to share his thoughts about the Camino, his village and life in General.
We stopped approximately half-way through in the village of Guismondo, to have a coffee and then continued on our way. Before we knew it we were looking at the wonderful sight of the castle of Escalona and the beautiful if rather steep entrance to the town. The Police brought the keys to the town's albergue, where we settled in to have a shower etc. Later, MariMar came to join us and we had lunch with them and also with another fellow walker from Belgium, William. Several other "pilgrims have joined our Albergue tonight and it looks as if we have full house for the first time on this route of Camino del Sureste.
Tomorrow we have around 20 Kms again when we wend our way towards Cadalso de Los Vidrios. Avila, our next rest stop, is getting that little bit closer!
Great that you have company at last. That's what make the Camino what it is and of course you are both such good company. Enjoy ! Phil & Miriam
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind words.you are right of course; it is the interaction with others that makes the Camino particularly interesting. Sometimes you even meet nice English expats who now live in Canada!
