This will probably be my last update...we have two days left...
Had a group of 19 French pilgrims, 13 of them were 11-12 y.o. with 6 adults (including a priest) and the are walking stages of the Camino for their Catechesis class. Two of the boys found a human skeleton in a vineyard outside of Azofra...that caused a bit of a ruckus!
Got yelled at AGAIN by a spanish man for not understanding or speaking enough spanish...after almost two weeks, I don't care anymore but talking faster and louder is not going to make me understand any more than the first THREE times I said "No hablo español, no entiendo, no comprendo, lo siento." Usually, when we have the "deer in the headlights" look, people understand a) this isn't the tourism office and b) you don't understand Spanish. The funny thing is, I actually do understand quite a bit when I am yelled at and when people speak slow enough...
Once again, I am encouraged by the generosity of the pilgrims. We had a group that wanted to feed us, which was a nice gesture. I've seen pilgrims cook huge meals and share with one another the food. We have had plenty of pilgrims with achilles tendonitis who I have tried to help. I've shown them videos on how to use kinesio tape to ease their symptoms, as well as encourage them to RICE their injuries. I also have a sneaking suspicion people aren't drinking enough water.
Yesterday we did a quick 3km walk to a local ermita and then onto the Camino for a bit....today, we tried to go on a 4km walk to the ermita of the bees. We got lost...so tomorrow, we try again.
