We arrived in Los Arcos this afternoon and have finished the afternoon routine of shower and laundry before finding a place for dinner. There was a notice for one place in town that is serving a "pilgrim Menu," which varies from place to place, but is usually a meal at a price lower thatn the regular dinner price. The one problem we encounter, however, is that Spaniard don´t usually have dinner unti 8:00, and most pilgrims as very very hungry when they enter into town between 3 & 5. An observation: Community on the Camino is formed in some facinating ways. Some folks conect around nationality and common language, some connect around common language,e ven if they are not for the same country. At times, that common language may not be their native tongue. There is a German woman travelling with an Spanish man, neither speaks the language of the other, so they use Italian. When a large group of people come together for a meal or fellowship, the language that is most common among the majority is the language that is spoken. Iftwo folks want to communicate with each ohter and neither knows the language of hte other, the default language is often a broken english. It´s very interesting to observe to be a part of. Today was a nice day for wqalking, temperature wise, but like many of the previous days the walk itself was on the grueling side. On the 20k journey, we traveled the last 12k with no town, no place to stop and rest, and nothing but sun and racky roads through vinyards in the mountains. At the beginning of today´s journey was a fountain, but unlike all th others, this one is famous because it dispense wine form one spout and water from another. If you would like to see pilgrims who visit the fountain, there is a webcam site at www.irache.com. Please continue to pray for shoes for Johannes. Blessings.
