October 2 Astorga Please Mister Postman
When I got my bag, I discovered I’d left my kindle in Ledigos. I contacted them and they have it. I told them I’d find out the shipping charge to home and would add 10€ for their trouble. I’ll go to the post office in Astorga.
Here is the bus stop that takes me to Astorga…
And below, the arrival, same.
And the post office…
So, the day begins!
October 2 Ask Me Why
Why change insoles?
My thanks to Dana Ballentine who has been my Camino mentor. She has done three Caminos: two Camino Frances that I’m on and this past spring she walked the Le Puy which is from Le Puy France to St Jean where I started. She is planning another Camino.
She had me buy a second set of Oboz insoles for my Oboz boots and instructed me to change them out midway. I changed out my insoles this morning. I was surprised to see how worn down the old ones were!
That’s why!
October 1 Hospital de Orbigo Dinner with Pilgrims
Dinner with pilgrims. I didn’t get everyone’s photo, but as we wandered into the restaurant, we’d just sit with a group already seated.
At my table this evening, people from Germany, Netherlands, UK, Korea, California, Maryland. One fellow is 79, another on his 7th Camino.
