We started our day very early today after a night of a room full of loud squeaky bed mattresses. I woke around 2am thinking it was closer to 6am. Went back to sleep until 5am so we could get a good start. It can be tricky to sleep with 20 other people right next to you...
We were invited to brekkie with our Californian friends, Buzz, Erin, Dylan and Jordan. Jordan is a cook and was excited to share his eggs and bacon with us. Erin is his girlfriend, Buzz is his girlfriends dad and Dylan is his brother. We have enjoyed getting to know each of them.
It has been interesting getting to see all types camino walkers. Walkers. Taxiers. Busers. Gear aheaders. Bikers. Short termers. Seasonalers. We feel the only way to do the camino is to walk, but many have a different idea what that means. Some people end up on the camino after many miles walking other places. Some have walked already 50 miles before now.
We made a pitstop to Los Arcos which is the finale according to our guidebook today. We stopped for our first sangria and then made the rest of the the hike to Sansol.
We are staying in a very small albergue of 14 people. 2 of them from Norway, 2 from Italy, 2 from Spain, 2 from Germany and 3 Americans. We have been enjoying the entire afternoon at the one local bar. This is by far the smallest town I have ever known.
