In La Bibliotheca in Cacabelos

The Cacabelos biblioteca pública has WIFI muy bueno, according to Natalia, so I may bring my computadora here when it’s tiempo ir a trabajar. In the meantime, since yo olvido mi dinero hoy así yo compro nada, I am en la biblioteca escribo mi blog. Those of you who don’t speak Spanish can probably figure what I just said, or tried to say, out. And those of you who do can stop laughing now.

Since I’m on good WiFi, here are some pictures. Don’t skip the video; some of the entry won’t make sense if you do .

Not pictured are Choco (Winner’s son; looks just like her) and Trudy.

At Stef’s we could never put food out the night before because of los ratones (mice, not rats.) That is not a problem here.

Berro is a kitten, not even five months old. He is my workout partner. When I use my resistance band the end dangles down and Berto bats at it. He was so exhausted after our workout yesterday he had to nap for hours afterwards.

Today Gonzalo, one of the volunteers here, touched my arm when he was talking to me and said , “You are strong!” “Porque?,” I asked, wondering how much resistance a mop was supposed to put up. “Because when I touch your arm is hard.” Oh. Thanks?

Gonzalo works in “La Casita,” which is a tiny house on the road that belongs to the albergue. The albergue is down a bit and not visible from the trail, which at this point on the camino is on the edge of the carretera. Gonzalo told me I am doing very well, that my passion for the work is clear. That makes me happy.

Well, I have to be back at the albergue at 2. It’s 1:15 and a 30 minute walk. Catch you guys later.
