It was siesta time in the Melide alburque and I was just dozing off (on a top bunk) when the top bunk next to me collapsed with a tremendous crash to the floor. The wooden posts literally splintered! The poor guy on top of that one rolled onto the floor, miraculously unhurt. Luckily there was no...

Speaking Spanish certainly makes things easier in the marketplace but it's amazing how much can be communicated without words. Some of my fondest memories are of spending time with pilgrims whose English vocabulary was as scant as my Spanish.
Buen Camino.
