Well, here's a funny story. I arrived in the afternoon and was supposed to be at the apt. at 4 pm. There was no one there, so I waited outside in the little square with my bag. (Turns out my contact was inside the apt. cleaning up while I was thinking he would meet me outside the apt.) At one point a woman came up and asked me what I was doing (I think she is somehow involved in this operation) but other than that all I got was a few odd looks. At 5, other volunteers arrived and all was solved. I later learned that the corner where I was standing was usually occupied by others.
Heat wave and pilgrim wave continue this morning. The apt. is on the route to Finisterre and I can see a steady stream as I look out the window of the lovely Tertulia cafe on the corner. I'm trying to convince the owner that if he opened at 6 instead of 7:30, he'd get a much bigger pilgrim business.
Buen camino, Laurie
