Day 50o: Grace’s third-to-final Coup … (06/03/2019)

After Hartmut had departed to set up camp for the night (in the tent he was carrying with him on his bicycle) and after I had finished mining a smattering of Camino information from the pamphlets in the local tourist bureau, I headed back to the still-closed hostel to write in its courtyard for awhile. And it didn’t take long thereafter for Chantal (the hostel volunteer pictured 2nd from the left in the first image below) to notice me doing so through the kitchen window, to come outside and ask me about my pilgrimage, to let me know that she & her fellow volunteers would be honored to let me stay the night, and to even offer me a small snack of fruit and bread while I waited for the hostel to open … 😀
