[QUOTE="Georgina77, post: 342633, member: 42436"] Hi Tom I did enjoy your last post too funny It sounds like the Camino has become the other woman in your life just like the sailors and the sea ... Maybe you can talk your wife into going with you she may have a wonderful time once she is there and learns to love it as much as you do It is awesome that your continuing to return and so willing to help them again next year I would imagine they don't get as much dedication and willingness to volunteer from other people as they have had from you ... It is usually hard to get volunteers at most things now a days so I was amazed at how many there were along the Camino which says alot about the Camino and the people going there to volunteer. I did notice and was surprised at the ability of many of them to be able to converse in so many different languages ( I was jealous ) You sound like you are one of them and doing very well with your Spanish that is so cool wish I had that ability but sadly after giving it a real hard try on the Duolingo Spanish lessons they offer on the net for almost a year and a half before we left for Spain; yup.... thought I was doing pretty good..... Well until we got there that is Boy ..I got so confused you wouldn't believe it.....My son was under standing people and relating to them better than me and he didn't even try to learn Spanish. Over the years seems we pick up the odd words from other languages but can't speak those languages well guess that is what happened to me as it all got jumbled up in my brain and my oh what a mess ... My son would laugh and say mom that is Italian or that is French and by the time I left I was in such a muddle my Hola had become Lola and when I got home where I should speak English some words Spanish words would come out instead As you can tell I am not Bi lingual I think for me it might be to dangerous to try to speak another language ...Thank the Lord most people were patient and didn't shoot me You obviously have the skills and a good sense of humor which I think you would need to work in the Pilgrims office and I am sure you would enjoy it. so I hope that will be open for you next year I will ask our Father about that for you ... Let me know if your mom goes with you as I am sure you will both have a wonderful time if you do it together ...Well I hope you and your wife have a great move and will enjoy Florida I have never been there but have heard really nice things about it.. God Bless you and your family and All the best with your move and new home [/QUOTE]
