This afternoon before arriving in Colombres we passed a house that had this encouraging sign out in their front yard. It says we now have less than 500 Km to Santiago.
Tonight a group of 9 lucky pilgrims got to stay in the private home of Mate and Yenka- I am not sure of the spelling— a Slovenian couple who liked the Camino so much they decided to live in Spain and host pilgrims. They take Saturdays off, but the other six they clean, cook and help pilgrims. They only have nine beds. The food was delicious. The pilgrims tonight were from Israel, Poland, Denmark, Germany, England, Netherlands, and for the first time in my memory, three from the US. Usually we are outnumbered in every social setting. The Polish guy is an Opera singer on sabbatical. The British guy was one of the Buckingham palace guards who wear the really tall black hats.
Today we walked through a lot of farms again. There are a lot of dairy cows here with a full set of horns. I would hate to have to milk a cow in a testy mood with horns like these.
