I slept well last night, two Spanish bikers ( cyclists) would come to the auberge but they kept to themselves on the otherside of the long recangular garage auberge....so we had no interaction but smiles, holas and " Buen Caminos". The boys and I discussed makinf St Vicente our stopping point but had no real commitment to pull it off. Sabastian would leave a good forty minutes before Benjamin, I would leave about ten minutes behind Benjamin and about ten minutes down the road would run into Sabastian! He had taken a wrong turn which had us share about an hour of walk together, he left to grab a coffee and I kept going wanting to spend some time in Comillas. I really liked Comillas!
I would meander thru the streets and had a goal to find a bar ams Skype my family at 2:00PM which would be 8:00AM their time...prior to school. I had a lunch, visited the open market where scarves, watches and ourses were being sold and would end up at the BEST bar....Bar Guadalupe, where the bartender greeted you with a huge smile and I felt for a few minutes I might be in Key West! I ordered a beer and went outside to Skpe, he showed up and gave me a warm bowl of chickpeas with onions and a broth....great chat with kids and Steve....
On my Camino forum one of my fav gals with advice mentioned the Angels in Comillas so I went out near the beach to the cemetary and saw those and grabbed some pictures.
Then I was off to St Vicente!!!!!
I approached the town looking for the auberge. Bobbi, who I met on the Frances had recently done the Norte and mentioned the " family run auberge" in this town as very memorable for her. i would hear my name in the streets and there were Benjamin and Sebastian....
I checked in to our auberge which was very sweet, humble but filled with a families love!
Pedro would check us in and make us dinner and breakfast in the morning, we would hear about how he has travled and jst kind of ran out of money and parked himself there for a month to make needed funds to continue. GREAT guy!!!!!
We snuck in a bite to eat before dinner, had a few drinks and a German guy alittle older than I am joined us, his name is York and a real charming guy....
back at the auberge would be a young Polish University student, in school to be a Dr....and dinner was great this evening as we talked about the World and had a wonderful conversation. Pedro kept the wine coming and one by one we each got up and went off to bed....
