raindrops, "Sobrenatural"


Today we had to walk from the environmental resort back to the camino. We walked up and down hills till we reached the town of ???.

It was sprinkling during the morning. Fortunately we were near a cafe when it started bucketing rain. We sat in the cafe eating and using their computer for a while.

Eventually Anselmo called a cab. He hates walking in the rain. The cab lady was explaining that most of the people were not making money farming, and that all the new houses being built were built by people who had made money outside of Galicia.

The cab took us to the Casa Milia, a small Bed and Breakfast in the countryside. It was run by a middle aged squat loud lady. She wanted Anselmo, it was clear. She called him "usted" (thou) and she called me "La Senora" (that lady).

A few other pilgrims also showed up. One of them had a dreadful blister. Anselmo encouraged him to go to a doctor.

That night I was watching Spanish TV and was surprised to see the lovely faces of Jensen Ackles and Jared Padelecki. It was the first season of "Supernatural", dubbed in Spanish!!! I didn't know those guys knew Spanish!!! It was awesome. I understood one phrase "Somos Investigatores Paranormales"!!!!
