WhatsApp Lessons

Things I've learned on WhatsApp while preparing for this trip:

     -Pep is a good man and I will miss him along the Camino. (I knew that he was a good man already but wanted to start there because none of this happens without him.)

     -Vicente Navas has an unhealthy sense of entitlement for underpriced frozen coffees.

     -Some of our classmates do not exercise very much.

     -One should never accept an offer of a cooling facemask from Henry Bell.  Also, he does not like to wake up early for the training walks.

     -Pep's ankles are more fragile than one might think.  Also, he is good with a scooter.

     -Manny Hidalgo is un tacaño.  And has time to hike ten miles on a Monday while everyone else is at the office.

     -Israel Salabarría looks very serious in selfies.

     -Manny Hadad had a "traumatic porn experience" as a young teenager and I can't wait to hear about it.

     -The Columbia outlet at Dolphin Mall has great discounts.

     -There are knife-wielding Muslims along the Camino (or so we are told).

     -Coach Migs might be the second coming - apparently he can walk on water.

                                              

     -It takes 15 attempts to get 20 adult men to fill out a 4-question Google Form.

     -CEOs of multinational corporations also get nervous before appearing on CNBC's Squawkbox. Also, the "Impossible Whopper" was not an April Fool's joke.

     -Fernie Álvarez looks like the Gorton Fisherman.

One week to go.  I fly to Madrid on the 12th.  Hoping for less rain than is in the current forecast.

Camino de Santiago, Day 4 (Arzúa to Amenal) - Holy Saturday (16 miles)

Image
Holy Saturday morning found us on the bus back to the entrance to Arzúa. Our hotel was not near the Camino itself and we needed to be taken back and forth.   Kiko (Bobby) had jokingly suggested the bus might take us to the other end of town, but that was firmly rejected.   Hotel staff found about 10 bottles of wine and could not find the swan that made off with Henry’s luggage in the middle of the night.   Our boy felt better and joined us on the walk again.    Lots of horses today on the trails.   Coffee up above Arzúa at a hamlet with a population of 4. Manny Hadad is their new mayor.   People were getting tired and dealing with blisters and pain in their feet.    We hiked through eucalyptus and oak forest.   One of our stops served a homemade beer named “La Peregrina”. Their tradition is that you finish the beer and sign your bottle Lunch was one of the best ones yet. We ate a par...

Camino de Santiago, Day 5 - Amenal to Santiago de Compostela (Easter Sunday): 10 miles

Image
What a way to end this pilgrimage! Headed out from Amenal in staggered groups.  Some of the slower peregrinos started early to keep up and others did not realize that others had left and waited by the bus to load their luggage.   Our ten-mile walk was decidedly more urban (the early part took us over a highway and around the airport), before arriving at the first marker for Santiago itself.   Shortly after that, we arrived at the Puerta de Santiago (where there is yet another little church) and the last 'rural' section of our walk.   We are less than ten miles from the city's center and we are still encountering small yards with cattle or sheep.  Some of the walkers in the front stepped into a little church during their Easter morning mass.  My group saw the priest walking away from the church with what looked like an ancient iron key. Just before the Monte de Gozo, we stopped for snacks...

Camino Re-cap

Image
  Reflections after recovery: So, I volunteered to do a daily co-blog with Roly on the Camino de Santiago. Given that this is my first post, you know how well that turned out. Huge props to Roly for having the mental energy and wherewithal to keep up with his posts. For my part, at the end of each day, the last thing I wanted to do was write. Blogging superstar to my left. Recovered from back surgery superstar to my right. And special guest Burrito Gallego. The end of each day was pretty special though. There was dinner! One of the things I was most looking forward to on this trip was the food. I love food! And the trip delivered! Octopus, lamb, veal, Iberico ham for breakfast every morning (Note: Salted meats before a 14-mile hike is probably a bad idea, but who cares, I had a water bottle!). But even better than the food was the opportunity to spend quality time with 19 men that I've known for almost 40 years. Some of these I either haven't seen or have...
