LIVE from the Camino from Navarette

We´ve made it to Navarette and have left the rain. Now it´s the heat that we´re dealing with!!! Sorry to say we´ve become some of those peregrinos that get up early to beat the heat- not the bed rush!!!Albergues still are not full. We stayed in the albergue parroquial in Viana last night and there were 8 of us there- capacity is something loke 20. The hopitaleras were wonderful and made a fantastic dinner. When we arrived they told me there was a municiple albergues up the road that had more services, but we were welcome in the parroquial albergue- it was more like a home and we´d have a communal dinner. I highly recommend it. We also had a great albergue almost to ourselves in Lorca- the one on the right side of the road going out of town- Albergue de Lorca de Jose Ramon. The owners girl friend is from North Carolina and practically caters to you. She showed us how to use Skype and we called home after setting up a Skype account- it was free. Definitely look into Skype of you want to call the US from Spain- ATT cards don´t work well.

I agree, Javier, and even now in Leon I can say we have not had any problems finding albergues the entire trip. I really think it pays to stay in the smaller towns.
