Every Pilrgim passing is announced and welcomed this way.It is a tradition , indeed , I was welcomed the same way 10 years ago - And I can tell you things get even more 'odd' as the evening progresses- for the adventurous - Wow , what a highlight as ANNE says.whariwharangi said:Plus I was put off by the starting up of a tape of gregorian chants and the ringing of a bell which 'coincided' with my cresting the hill overlooking the site. It struck me as being too odd.

Thanx , he is looking a lot older now - Hey what fantastic Pics!Renshaw
Tomas was still going strong this year, no 'competing' premises across the road, had hoped to have the experience of staying but alas, having gotten to Foncebadon the previous day the conflict between making a good day's progress and experiencing enjoying Tomas's hospitality was settled for making a push for Cacabelos but next time ....
I know Tomas from hospitalero-ing, he is always a great guy at get-togethers. But when I stop by his place I am utterly ignored. The albergue is a very masculine environment, where men are welcomed collegially, young women are often fussed-over, and women over 40 are, well... invisible.
And no, I am not the first person to notice this.
Reb , He is that type of man - fueled by charismatic egomania ; the king of his castle ......perhaps thats why he is there ........ Did he not start that Refugio with a companion?I know Tomas from hospitalero-ing, he is always a great guy at get-togethers. But when I stop by his place I am utterly ignored.

legend holds he was a wildly successful banker or lawyer or some such, and threw it all over to go and be the Final Templar in the wilderness. He certainly is a camino character, subject of many songs and legends.
The people who live in his neighborhood can tell you some other kinds of tales as well. But I have decided to stop being gloomy, so I will leave it at that.

Jeepers Beat!!! GREAT PHOTOS! I'm only half way through. Sometimes I want to shout out to you to stop as the photos pass a town where you perhaps should have stopped at , on the whole you seem to have travelled quite a distance each day. I can see you always had the camera at the ready during sunrise. I am impressed!When you pass by or entering their place? I didn't hear anything when I passed.

As for the bell ringing at Manjarin , perhaps it was too early .....they don't like to get up early?
