El Refugio es Completo

6/3/06-6/4/06

Writing at 6 am in my sleeping bag on the patio that I moved to around 3....

Man from Holland is snoring and more than anything I feel bad for him. He can´t speak any of the main languages associated with the pilgrimage (i.e. Spanish, English, German, French, or Esperanto...) and in the mornings his bunkmates must find it quite frustrating to not be able to commiserate with him over the sleep he caused the loss of. A good joke makes many things better...His must be a lonely path right now; isolated by language and reviled for his nighttime nose solos. I remember watching him limp into town yesterday afternoon and the kind but very bemused smile he had on his face as everything was explained to him with body language.

It didn´t help that the man under him was apparently sleeping with several plastic bags. Each turn of his body evinscing the grocery store.
