Day 72 - Triacastela a Samos - September 25 -  On the Camino 34 days

Well it has been a lovely day. I've had lots of opportunities to practice mind control, mine not yours. I've taken over the Camino. I know who is doing it right and who isn't. Little Judge Nancy has her black robes on and gavel in hand. I have to constantly say to myself, "it's not my pig and it's not my farm." 

I had the morning to myself which didn't give me much opportunity to play judge. I have often thought I would get along better with people if I lived on a desert

island. The walk this morning was magical. I kept expecting King Arthur to come around the corner on his white steed. The small villages were more than charming. There were rivers all the way. 

I lost my leg! I stopped this morning on the trail to take a picture and take off my fleece and the zip off legs from my pants. Apparently I left one of the legs on the trail because I can't find it any where. I was going to throw the other one away, but decided to wait a day or two and give it a chance to show up. 

And tonight I got to have a pilgrim dinner. Greer was in the same albergue. I had gone to the store and got stuff to make pasta for me. When I got back from the

store I told Greer I was making pasta and if she wanted to join me there was plenty. Before I knew what was happening her whole room wanted to join and were making a shopping list for more supplies. Then a couple of guys ask if they could join us. So the shopping was done and when I got back from my monastery tour we started cooking. We had grapes and cheese for starters. Some had wine and I and two others had a lemon soda. Everything was yummy. We found some chorizo and sausages left by yesterday's pilgrims we chopped up. I had bought a red pepper and an onion, they got a bottle of tomato sauce, some stewed tomatoes, and green olivas that we used. It was yummilicious. We ended up feeding eleven people. Anna from Holland, Pierre from France, Greer from San Francisco ( Jess got sick and stayed in Villafranca,) Matty, Butch and Sara from Ireland, a young Spanish man, and a woman from Germany. And the albergue had a dishwasher!! That is very unusual. But we had everything cleaned up and were read for vespers at 7:15.
