Sorry we’ve skipped a couple days but we’ve been too tuckered out to write so this will be short. We stayed at Albergue Guacelmo, the British Confraternity run albergue. There was a lot of snoring going on so once again Cullen said, “no more dorms!” Such a coincidence that the Hospitalera that was there last night was there 4 years ago almost to the day when we stayed there. In 2016 there were just the two of us pilgrims but last night there were 16. Tea time was great with so many of us and vespers was the best yet and we’ve been to 4. Those 3 monks were great. The way to El Acebo was grueling for us. We walked a little bit more than 11 miles. The first half was okay but the last half was grueling - downhill with lots of rocks. The weather was great but if it had been raining it would have reminded me of the place I fell on last year on the way to Zubiri. We made it to our albergue (Casa Peregrina) 60 euros dbl room, private bath. Good shower, washed the dirt off our clothes then had a big fat burger in the albergue restaurant. It is so nice when they sell food on premises so we don’t have to go traipsing around looking for a meal. Tomorrow the path will start out like today’s path ended so we may have to walk on the road. We’ll decide tomorrow once we get up and see how we’re doing. Tomorrow is our last day on the CF. Invierno here we come!
