Tuesday 29 March

Only 4 for breakfast and it should have been a breeze but perhaps we are getting on each other's nerves.  We had so few pilgrims that Javi didn't want to use the coffee or milk thermos and of course he is correct.  I guess I just like doing things the same way.  The Dutchman didn't have breakfast, but Miguel, the man who ate nothing for dinner did have breakfast.

After cleanup a young Italian couple came in and wanted to know if we could give them something to eat.  This was a first for us.  Javier is so nice.  They didn't want to stay the night but wanted to cook lunch for themselves.  Cullen and I headed to the bar for our usual Internet check and left them in Javi's good hands.  When we got back the Italian was drinking our wine and chowing down on our nuts.  She cooked, cleaned up and then they left.  They did leave a donation

Next came an American couple from Seattle region.  They walked 18 miles their first day and she was suffering blisters.  So we prepared the salt, vinegar, water soak.  Joni and Fred, about our age.  I swear she was wearing eyeliner but looking closer I think they were false eyelashes.  A town administrator stopped by this morning and wanted to go up into the bell tower for some reason.  What a view!
