Meet up tonight in Santiago

[peregrina2000]

Al the optimist and I hope to meet a few other forum members tonight.

7 pm, cafe Tertulia

Go down the stairs in front of the parador, walk to the first busy street (Pombal). Cross the street and the Tertulia is on the left.

Hope to see some more forum members!

And since Kinky is walking into Santiago tomorrow, there will be forum members there tomorrow as well.

Oooh, I wish! Have a lovely time all of you.

 

[Waka]

I'm so far away I can't make it, but have a glass for me.

 

[jerbear]

I will be there tomorrow as well! See you then.

 

[JohnMcM]

Wish I could be there. You folks have been so helpful, supportive and informative in the past, I would like to say thank-you face-to-face.
Buen Camino

Wow, great !!

Wednesday at 7 pm it is! Anyone else out there?

 

[VNwalking]

I wish, but there are 2 0ceans and a continent between me and the Tertulia--not to mention the shortish walk to SdC.
Have a grand time, all of you--it sounds like such fun!

 

[LTfit]

Congratulations and have fun guys!!! I'll raise a class for you all from San Sebastian

Last night Kinky, jerbear, and I had a rip roaring good time at Tertulia. Pictures of all these meet ups to come soon as I'm back with access to a computer.

Though the Tertulia is a great little place, its outdoor seating is less than ideal because it's right on the busy Rua Pombal. I had been there before in cooler months and didn't realize how noisy it would be outside. So maybe we should rethink this.

But in any event, I really enjoyed meeting everyone over the last few days. My instincts seem to have been borne out --those who gather with other forum members in Santiago have walked untravelled Caminos and are unlikely to have the same social group in Santiago as those who walked the Frances, etc.

And I also got a couple of good ideas for future caminos!

Buen camino, from the Santiago airport, Laurie

Looking forward to seeing those pics, Laurie, and wishing you safe and comfortable travel home.
Glad you had such a wonderful time!
Seems like yesterday you were starting up the Ebro. Next?

 

[peregrina2000]

Was a nice meet up! Thanks. The park would be an interesting place for meetup.

And will you set up your tent for us if it's raining?

 

[KinkyOne]

Indeed it was nice although a shortish one. Third time with Laurie after Leon and La Robla. First time with Jerry and today I ran into him on the street again. I kinda knew that would happened but never thought it will be next day

Thanks for good company!

I'm uploading the first pic that was taken and sending the rest to Laurie to decide which one is the best.

Off to Fisterra tomorrow...

Happy walking Kinky--thanks for the sharing!

And will you set up your tent for us if it's raining?

Oh. Does it rain in Galicia?

 

[jerbear]

And will you set up your tent for us if it's raining?

The rain in Spain fall mostly on z plains!.lol

 

[domigee]

In England (and Northern France) we say something like 'Summer has come, the rain is less cold' or thereabouts

One of these days I hope to see all of you in Santiago or along the Camino. I am in San Sebastián for the month of someone is heading this way.

 

[Al the optimist]

It was lovely to meet.
Sorry to miss you Kinky and Rebecca.
I will also be sad tomorrow when I leave Madrid after regaining some of those kilos I had lost!
Love you forum pals
Bessos y ambrazos
