[QUOTE="scruffy1, post: 110634, member: 10031"] Capecorps Shalom and Greetings from Jerusalem We have shared a similar experience! My first Camino was solidly planned from home to Saint Jean, got out in Pamplona and just missed the last bus East before the Good Friday holiday weekend! We Jewish pilgrims to Saint James are not as familiar with your holidays and actually have no idea what goes on! Your winos were sound asleep in the stairwell, mine were out walking around singing dancing and otherwise cavorting in the streets. The hostels were packed so I took a cheapo hotel and set out to explore. Passing the cathedral about 2200 I heard heavenly music from within and upon entering discovered the local organist and choir practicing for Sunday's mass and enjoyed an amazing two hours of singing and organ. Didn't sleep a wink that night because of the racket and commotion outside and thinking-is that what the Spanish always do? First day out from Pamplona is easy, was a sunny day, pleasant walking there in the springtime then I came upon Alto Perdon and the statues here. People love them or hate them I sat there totally flabbergasted and amazed photographing each one. This amazement and flabbergastedness continued with me until I successfully reached Santiago and it was a wonderful life changing experience-no still Jewish but obssessed totally with the Camino.
