Just beautiful. Buen CaminoI know you are going to love this story...
I left Puente La Reina this morning. I entered the town of Maneru and was going to keep on walking straight through. I stopped and double backed to stop for a coffee and to practice what I preach about foot care. As I was standing there chatting with a long lost friend from 3 days ago, a man walked up and said, "Does anyone know Shawna Morris?"
I turned and said, "That's me!"
"I found your passport and your peregrino passport back at the albergue!"
Wow. I had a feeling I forgot something this morning. So then, after 20 minutes of failed attempts to get a taxi, the owner of this cafe albergue gave me a ride to get my passport. Now, it's hard to convey in words here the level of commitment to helping me that these proprietors had, but it was moving.
And because of this detour, I got to know a smidge of these two...they met on the Camino about ten years ago, and about 4 months ago bought this albergue, which is very nice and clean. It is called El Cantero, and it is in Maneru. Please stop in and give them some love.
I'm trying to load a picture, but I can't and need to move along.

STOP IT!!
You're scaring the children!!
What a nice story. I am about to start the Camino, from Mont-de-Marsan in France, together with my dog. I've read some alarming stories here (especially the death of the Belgian Pelgrim), but this story is how I imagine it to be. Thanks for posting it.

very good to know ... of course, i can't make that clacking sound either...stupid, defective tongueActually the major language confusion with Spanish canines is with clacking your tongue. Anywhere else in Europe it is a signal for 'good dog, come here, say hello' whilst in Spain it means 'BAD DOG, GO AWAY/BUZZ OFF!'. Buen Camino, SY
... If you walk with a dog, you walk FOR the dog and so it should be, cos he sure didn't ask to be there
Thanks for your good advice. It has been very useful. I decided on the last moment to leave the dog at home. Difficult decision, but a wise one I think. I will start tomorrow at Saint-Jean-Pied-De-Port.
