May 2018 Ditch Piggery

[naplesdon]

Rebekah and I made two signs this morning to help with some confusing way markers near Ledigos and Moratinos. She had seen a few pilgrims returning from wrong left and right turns lately. Then we had a delicious menu del dia in Villacazar with Paddy.

Thank you and I hope the Camino Del Norte went well

 

[Camino Chrissy]

What a cheerful and attractive sign pointing the way!

 

[LTfit]

Like the sign, thanks @biarritzdon and @Rebekah Scott !

Don, did you sprout wings to get to Moratinos or were you that close to Sahagun when on the Madrid?
Any other Caminos in store for you?

Walked the Madrid to Medina de Rioseco, then dropped in on the Moratinos crowd. Tomorrow I am headed to Astorga and currently considering going to Ferrol and completing my journey to SdC from there. Flocks of pilgrims on the CF.

Don, good to see a Pig in Flight. :0) But meanwhile, 'Flock'? I always thought the collective noun for a continuous line of Pilgs was a 'shuffle'. Perhaps that only applies after Sarria.

"Herd of Pilgrims?", "Of course I've heard of Pilgrims." boom- boom.

Yes, this old porcine pilgrim has wings, thanks to ALSA. The shuffle is when you get stuck behind a herd of stinky sheep.

@ biarritzdon
You certainly know how to pen an attention-grabbing thread title

 

[Rebekah Scott]

Don is a veteran Ditch Pig, and so is Tinca Tinker. They are part of a group of volunteers that meets annually in the heart of the Meseta to clean up litter along the Camino.
Huzzah!

 

[Ekelund]

What a wonderful way to spend a day! Thank you for doing it

 

[VNwalking]

Well done, you two!

No, I believe it's a 'grumble.'

 

[nycwalking]

Thanks to both of you.

Good for you! I arrive in Madrid on Tuesday morning and will head north to Tres Cantos on the same. Enjoy the Inglés if you get that far. I hear lots of pilgrims there too. Assume I'll be pretty much alone on the Madrid.

I spent 4 nights solo in albergues. The food situation is the issue. The tiendras will open if you act needy enough, the bar food for the “menu” is fried eggs and ham.

Better than Green Eggs and Ham I'm luckily a vegetarian and not a vegan (yet)!

 

[naplesdon]

I thought you might appreciate the humor in that response.

Oh no, sam i am...

Buen camino, @LTfit!

Oh no, Lee! If you become a Vegan you're going to miss out on your favourite little lovelies at Do Bispo!

Oh my Jenny, you are right! Hmm how about a part-time vegan? One needs to be flexible, right?

Lee and Don -
Do Bispo was sensational! I'd always make sure to get a leave pass to enjoy every treat on the menu ... when in Santiago ...!
Cheers!
