Stayed in a relgious Albergue in Tostanos the two of us plus Gon a young Korean priest.( Days later he is next to me at the computer) dinner was a communal effort as Michele and I were instructed how to prepare the patatas fritata and gon struggled on with such tasks as grating carrot and washing lettuce. The cook/host only spoke spanish the other host only spoke german Gon spoke Latin French and spanish and Michele and I have yet to progress past english. Monk like hymms were hummed all thru meal prep. in spanish (I think) These pics really capture the moment so stay tuned. After the fritata was deemed cooked it really took a while as it was very Grande!!. We sat down, Gon said grace in English (phew) then it was time to eat the fritata, it was deemed too hot and needed to cool down. so of course you open the window and put it on the ledge for 20 min to cool down. we all took turns of keeping our eye on it as there seem to be plenty of cats and other things out ther who would have enjoyed it. A theological discussion ensued after dinner I was able to contribute such gems as ´´Si¨evey so often which no doubt contributed to the lively debate. time for prayers which was up in the attic, freezing and very holy. I read the prayer in english and the others followed in the 3 other languages. we then read pilgrims problems and prayed some more. Ok back down stairs to the dishes then off to bed. well not bed, matt on floor which was suprisingly comforable. the building was well over one hundred years old and very cold. Had breakfast in the morning in the nice warm kitchen then escaped - I mean left for our days walking. a crisp and clear day ahead. xx
