I like the old office. Waiting in a queue outside 1 Rua do Vilar. Entering the dark entrance of the building. Climbing those old stairs with that wooden hand railing. The queue moving slowly as you passed thru the upstairs door. Then waiting for someone wave at you as it was your turn. Handing in your "credencial" and answering a few questions.Then you eyes would open wide as you looked at your "compostela" and a smile of happiness would appear on your face. Thanking the person who handed it to you. Turning round and passing all the other peregrinos who were waiting for theirs.
Damn I´going to miss all that next time.
Buen Camino!
And posing on the stairs makes for a great photo .
We will just have to go back and see if the new office is as good .
And here's me thinking that it had been moved down in readiness for the day Johnnie could no longer climb the stairs!
