Ventas De Naron to Cassanova: October 2, 2014: Day 33

 Ventas De Naron to Cassanova:  October 2, 2014: Day 33

Today was the latest any of us have woken up on the Camino at 7:45. We are suppose to be out of the albergay by 8:00.  The room was darkened by a thick wall of fog.

After quickly dressing our group went downstairs for coffee and toast.  Angie and Jack took off quickly.  I hung back and had coffee and toast with Hubert, Don and Myles.  We enjoyed more of our conversation about Hubert's organic farm.  When we had all finished we we took off down the road.  We enjoyed walking through the cool mountain mist.  We all chatted about what we were seeing.  It reminded of us about the movie The Way.

We all met up with Angie for lunch around 12:30.  We decided we are doing the Perigrinos stroll.  Our pace has slowed down and we are enjoying our new friends.

We continued on after lunch with Myles and Don.  The sun was hot and the grade uphill.  We are still surrounded by mountains and trees. We passed through several very small villages that are mostly a few small farms.  A couple of kilometers before stopping for the day we came upon Jack who had checked into a little albergay.  We greeted one another and pressed on for a couple more kilometers.

In the town we are staying there is only the albergay, a bar and a home with a small farm.  We are sleeping with 7 others in our room.  Myles, Don, Angie and I shared a pilgrim's meal and talked about our lives and our day.  We decided to go to bed early.  I was very tired and fell right to sleep around 9:30.

Lessons learned:  Enjoy friends and the peace that comes with sharing the day with others.
