[QUOTE="Albertagirl, post: 976508, member: 43403"] Three days ago I woke naturally in the albergue at Najera, before the 7 am lights on, and began the morning ritual for the albergue: put on the coffee and hot water and set the table with a few items for breakfast: generally left-over bread and a few other items bought by the hospitaleras and put out for the pilgrims. A few minutes later, the other hospitalera, who had set out breakfast items the night before, came out from her little room to continue the morning ritual. Pilgrims appeared gradually in the common entry area, quietly shutting the doors to the dormitory behind them; many with their own breakfast foods, so I hoped that today there would be enough for those who did not bring food. I switched the lights on at 7 am and more pilgrims began to surface. The lights had been turned off by a hospitalera at 10 pm, so there was a lengthy time for sleep. Many pilgrims were quietly on their phones (no sound) after lights out in the dormitory. Renovations in the dormitory had set up partitions between the beds: two bunk beds with a space between (the uppers currently empty for covid safety) with partitions on each side. Pilgrims can usually choose to share a partitioned area with a friend or with someone of their own gender. As I passed to my little room in the evening, I saw lights on pilgrim phones, but heard nothing. I think that the partitions keep light from phones from disturbing others. Most were exhausted from the long walk from Logrono in cold, damp weather. All seemed to be considerate of others. One snored. It was an ordinary night in Najera pilgrim albergue, with reasonable consideration from all. In a couple of hours, I would be on my way home. [/QUOTE]
