Tosantos

Quite an interesting place....it's very spartan and very cold.  The heaters don't work in any of the rooms.  As you can see by the photos , our sleeping quarters are very simple...mats on the floor.  Dinner was provided..salad and a delicious potato, chorizo and onion soup and bread.  No vino tinto..I was disappointed.  We helped prepare the dinner, set the table and did the dishes after dinner.  We all retired to our mats at 10:00 pm and with the help of warm, cozy blankets,  we had the best night's sleep of all our nights on Camino.  All this for "donotivo".... Give what you can.  There were 30 of us from all over the world and what we gave would feed those who came the next day

I realized that this is way it was for pilgrims in days gone by...simple, spartan places to sleep and simple meals to eat.  They left what they could.  How easy we modern day pilgrim has it...really.  Where we are staying tonight...we had a hot shower,  someone to do our laundry, a soft bed and free WIFI at the local bar.  And if we're sick, hurt or just plain tired,  all we need do is call a taxi.

But,  we walk mile after mile with all our posessions in a pack on our back.  That is something, any way.

I liked living for one day as a true pilgrim.
