Day Seven: Have I Met My Camino Family?:Los Arcos

Last night I had what seemed like a good idea. Choose the bed by the window, where a cool breeze blows through. This morning, at 5:15? It’s cold!

I had a delicious tortilla y patate made just for me.

These are some things I saw. Today I might have found my Camino family. I knew when I did they would be young. Giorgio, Bjorn, and Dalilah are all in their 30’s.

I met them at the wine fountain in Irache. (Yes, Fred, I got there early enough to get some.) Giorgio offered to take my picture and we just kind of stayed together. We are in a private room in Los Arcos, full of pasta Dalilah made. My share of the pasta and wine was 5 euros. All told today I’ve spent maybe 20 euros, maybe less. I can spring for a hotel room in Logrono day after tomorrow.

Giorgio and I ate cherries fresh from the tree.

We chose not to walk to the Castillo and explore. There is not much posting today. One, I was busy cooking and socializing. Two, my phone ran out of battery. Three, my charger cord is malfunctioning, so I can’t charge my phone.

Here are the rest of my pictures.

We walked through incredible heat. In the middle of nowhere, like an oasis in the desert, there was a food truck.

We arrived 15 minutes before it closed. What I would have done without it I don’t even want to think.

The last picture is Dalilah in the garden of the albergue in Los Arcos.
