the camino telegraph

tonight we are at el burgo ranero - started out a real foggy cold day (as usual) but came out lovely and sunny - I was right about the snorers.... but tonight we are at a hostal in a doble room¡¡¡....(costs 40euros) as the albergue was completo.... a double bed this means... to Blair maybe but to me it means a good nights sleep.... we have just had tea with a canadaian grandmother and her grandaughter - only thing is they only just met 4 yrs ago as the grandaughter was adopted 34 yrs ago - such a precious discussion was had as to how you veiw life - the grandmother is 75 - there are so many of these stories - last night 2 kiwis, 2 south koreans and 2 germans sat down to dinner - no one was talking because we thought that we could not understand each other... until we discovered that the south koreans lived in germany - so what a special time we had.... today however the rumour is that there is the norwalk virus on the camino - every second person we have met today has been sick... some people say its the water, some people say its the food. Our friend Torsten has had it (the young german man who Blair thinks looks like Frodo but I think looks like Clark Kent) who we met again today outside the best cake shop in Sahugun.... he had a night with the Brazilians the night before last - so it seems we are only a half day behind them.... anyway all is good so far no tummy bugs for us.... and still no word of Jeremy.....
