Sept. 26,2014 Friday On the trail to Ec Acebo
This little abandoned town Manjarin except for this little bar has this sign for the distances from here to there. Only 222 km to Santiago de Compostela. WOW, I believe I can get there.
Sept.26,2014. Rabanal del Camino to El Acebo
I met Peggy from LA yesterday & she told me her husband Llyod who has a heart problem has to stay in a hospital in Burgos for 3 days. The Doctor told him he cannot walk like this every day. He rented a car, walks with her for a short distance, goes back to the car & meets her at their designated stop for the night. She was sad he could not walk with her but she's happy he can drive & continue with his Camino. I saw a red car stopped at Foncebadon & I knew it was her. So I was really happy to meet Lloyd Sutton. They are so sweet to each other. Because there is a cyclist marathon going on here, the albergues & hotels are full. Peggy had a reservation at the new La Casa del Peregrino in El Acebo. Her husband wanted to stay at a hotel so she saved one bed for me. When I got to El Acebo, I saw Michelin & Fernand from Quebec. She told me they are staying at the Albergue Parochial, a donation only & the hospitaleros are going to cook for the pilgrims. I liked the whole idea as it is something more quaint & intimate. So I checked in & went over to the Albergue to cancel.
