On refugios
I sure got tired of Refugios, What a sight, on arrival, people absolutly obsessed with their feet, guide books and doing their washing. Then rushing about buying bread, meat and cheese for their evening meal.
The sleeping areas ranged from 2 to 100 people and after a while did not enhance my Camino experience. People sure do make an amazing assortment of sounds and other things.
For not a lot more money one can stay in a hotel or pension and eat the meal of the day for about the same price as they were paying for bread and cheese and my meal included wine.
The kicker though was the mornings, most Pilgrims insisted on getting up so early and rushing off to the next Refugio to repeat this process. When they arose the rustling began and reached a cresendo, rustle,rustle, rustle it drove me nuts. Bless them all. Guess where I stayed.

Hi Roger:
Well, what can I say except congratulations, good for you, way to go and the old man did it (just repeating what you said):). What a journey!!!
Hope the rest of the trip goes well for you. Enjoy.

What a restful night in that hotel rather than all those people making all those weird noises throughout the night.
Still sounds like a wonderful time.

Hi Roger,
Thanks for sending your blog...wish I'd known what you were up to!!! Sounds like an experience of a lifetime. I'd probably prefer to walk the length and breadth of Ireland myself, but husband Chris is learning Spanish. I will show him your blog....however we both like our comfortable hotels too much!! Good for you! Have found a Beamish descendant with Dukelow entanglements to our family....I think we may all have Beamish, Attridge, Dukelow, Whitley, Gosnell all in our genes...may be time to do some dna tests but it wouldn't help unless you are a male straight line Dukelow...but you could do the Attridge?
Anyway, have a great journey home and will talk to you when you get adapted back to Canada! (from long distant Cousin) April
