Awful night last night. I kept getting bitten by something that left horrific welts, especially one under my left eye. I had gotten them before in Belorado, but washed everything in the laundry in Burgos (including the sleeping bag) & was bite-free for several days. Now I´ve got them all over me again & no laundry in sight, other than handwashing, which doesn´t work. I noticed though that I got bit on the night that 2 particularly dirty peregrinos stayed in the same room with me in Belorado & there they were again last night in Castrojeriz. So when they mentioned in Itero that they were headed towards the same albergue I was tonight, I thought no way & stopped walking here, yet another 10k day.
Tomorrow will be 13k, as there is a new albergue in Fromista I want to check out. Plus that will get me set up quite nicely for a few final stages across the meseta to Leon.
Saw a film crew & I just bet they were very impressed with my direct from the Paris cat walks Peregrina outfit complete with Altus rain poncho (that has room for my back pack so I look like Quasimodo would if he were a Smurf.) It´s all the rage! Will be on the cover of Vogue next week. Strike a pose!

I hope that film doesn't come out before next spring. The camino is going to be crowded enough without more publicity.
ReplyDeleteI think the crowding next year will have more to do with it being the last Holy Year for a decade. They are attributing that to this years´crowds as well.
