Rabadisco to Pedrouzo October 4, 2014: Day 35
In Rabadisco we stayed at a very old stone albergay with sleeping areas of about 20 people only separated by 3 different floors all open to each other. We were excited when we got a bed by the window. The bathrooms and showers were in 3 other buildings. The men and women were separate.
This morning we said good bye to Jack. We hope we might see him again in Santiago.
We walked with Myles and Don all morning. The trail was uphill most of the morning which meant we had to work at it. It was beautiful with a tree lined path and occasional views of pastures and farm houses.
Around 1:00 the clouds got heavy and it was threatening rain. Angie was having trouble with her feet. We decided to eat and pick up some more ibuprofen. As we left the restaurant a light rain started. We walked for over an hour in the light rain. It was our intention to meet with the group in the next large town. When we arrived we were cold and soaked. We stood under an awning to stay out of the downpour and to look at our guidebook. As we were trying to figure things out Hubert popped his head out of the restaurant door. It was a miracle. They were all in the Albergay next door. What a relief. Once again the Camino provides.
We quickly went to the albergay with 170 beds, got a warm shower, while Myles and Don went to get food to make for dinner. We found places to hang our clothes along with all the other pilgrims. I was given the opportunity to visit with a Spaniard while others who were cooking. He had spent a month in San Fransisco and was very interested in the States. I was interested in talking to him about economics, the church and politics in Spain. We all ate dinner together and enjoyed a rich conversation
Lessons learned: There is so much that we can learn from one another.
