Hope to see you all on 12th (but knowing my Caminos that'll be 13th).
Now there's a line to attract prospective Amigos next yearPS. Are you staying in the street near the Brothel?
Lol. There seems to be a 'bit of business ' going on. There was a funny comment in Magwood's day 3 blog too.Now there's a line to attract prospective Amigos next year
Hi Laurie. Enjoy your time. We thoroughly enjoyed our 2 weeks last October ( even although there was quite a bit if rain)! Say hello to all the staff there and also to JW!

PS. Are you staying in the street near the Brothel?
Well, here's a funny story. I arrived in the afternoon and was supposed to be at the apt. at 4 pm. There was no one there, so I waited outside in the little square with my bag. (Turns out my contact was inside the apt. cleaning up while I was thinking he would meet me outside the apt.) At one point a woman came up and asked me what I was doing (I think she is somehow involved in this operation) but other than that all I got was a few odd looks. At 5, other volunteers arrived and all was solved. I later learned that the corner where I was standing was usually occupied by others.
Heat wave and pilgrim wave continue this morning. The apt. is on the route to Finisterre and I can see a steady stream as I look out the window of the lovely Tertulia cafe on the corner. I'm trying to convince the owner that if he opened at 6 instead of 7:30, he'd get a much bigger pilgrim business.
Buen camino, Laurie
If everything goes according to plan and it`s God will, we should arrive in SdC on 15 May. Kind regards. EstelleIf anyone is planning to arrive between now and May 16, the first group of amigos has arrived -- three from US, one from England and one from Ireland. We're here from 9 to 9 so say hi. The office is BUSY!!! Beautiful weather in santiago too. Buen camino, Laurie.

Where can one get info on volunteering as an Amigo for the Pilgrim Office?
Thanks,
Paul.
Hi Paul, the following thread has some detail about what the office are looking for in terms of volunteer amigos. I believe that the Amigos service may be being coordinated by somebody else this year but if you PM Johnnie, as Anne says, he should be able to point you in the right direction. Bear in mind that the Amigo places for this season may have already been allocated but that may not be the case or there may be a reserve list in case anybody has to withdraw at short notice.Where can one get info on volunteering as an Amigo for the Pilgrim Office?
