The following is a summary of communique from Mary over the course of the afternoon (her evening).
I wanted to walk the road instead of the rocky path. Since I can’t connect to Google maps, I asked the driver of the Swiss tourist bus that pulled into the fancy place here. Another man, who is in charge, said that was the road but some areas were extremely steep. If I wanted to wait 30 minutes, they would give me a ride in the bus. I’m always hitching rides!
That’s the man who is giving me a ride. He has walked the entire Camino Frances seven times.
The bus people are impressed that I’ve been walking because they walk a while then get on the bus, then walk some more. But I saw them on the hard, rocky downhill. They are tired.
The bus driver is German and doesn’t speak English.
Everyone on the big bus sang happy birthday to me.
