Well, it has been a while since I updated the blog and a lot has happened, more than I can write in a page or so. On Saturday I said goodbye to my great new Spanish friends. It was a spectacular goodbye. We ate together, talked about life, and laughed a lot. Those new friends – Luis, Pep, Juan, and Jaime, are great, and I am glad to meet so many new people.
I walked on, meeting people along the way and stopping to spend some time with them. One of them is Grant, a British guy searching for a new life of adventures. We hit it off. I met Danni, from Granada, who convinced me that Andalucia in southern Spain may just be the best part of the country. After I finish el Camino de Santiago, I will be headed there to walk and so I will see. Another new friend, Yenny, and I talked a long time about her native Santa Cruz in Bolivia. I spent a month or so there in 2004 and it is where Che Guevara was killed and is buried.
Two days ago it began to rain all day, and hard. The temperatura dropped to just above freezing. I had walked for 9 days straight. My feet hurt and it was time for me to take a day off and I had arrived at just the right place, a hamlet called Tosantos. I bécame friends with the man who was running the albergue, Lluis. You can stay for free and meals are served family style and so I made an extra effort to clean the plates. My day off was a really well-needed break and today I am back on the camino, refreshed.

Hola David, somos Clara y Susanna (las dos peregrinas catalanas con las que coincidiste des de zubiri hasta logroño). Sentimos que esta semana os haya hecho tan mal tiempo pero cada vez esta más cerca el invierno. Podrías añadir en el blog la foto que nos tiraste en la cena comunitaria de Estella, es para tener un recuerdo de la buena gente que nos encontramos en el camino. Gracias y AUPA hasta Santiago.
Hey David,
Great to read of all your adventures. Glad to see you have made some cool connections with people. We miss you here at Common Ground.

hi david!
i just found your blog by randomness searching the camino forum. something about made me stay in tuned to contnue reading, a lot of what you described in your postings were similar to my own personality, my choices of the way of life and reminded me greatly about my own adventures both prior and after my camino frances i made in nov/dec 2010. if you wanna see some pics of mine from those trips, please feel free to look me up at facebook! i was amazed and awed at your adventuring spirit. i laughed a lot from your tales about your spanish friends made on the camino especially that story of the young girl in need of holistic healing. :) i will be setting out on my second camino in the middle of september this year since the camino haunts me on a regular basis and i have a profound yearning to go back, explore the world and myself and to see whom i will be fortunate to meet! regards, jonas nohrstedt of sweden
