Opportunity Knocks
6/10/06 : Belorado, Burgos, Espagña
The most amazing albergue yet. They have pictures of previous pilgrims which include a man with a Clydesdale and a dog, two women with a donkey, a man with a donkey, a man on a UNICYCLE, and a couple on small foot scooters. They also make their own Riojan wine here (a type of wine that is currently gaining world-wide popularity); for the price of 2 euros a bottle (around 3$) it is an exceptionally good deal.
As soon as I walked into this town I knew I loved it. I couldn´t pinpoint why. Something about the smells, the backyards with wildflowers next to cultivated gardens, and just the right amount of trash in abandoned lots appealed to me. My good feeling about it was confirmed as I was invited to stay here and work for two weeks as a 'hospitalera' helping out with checking in pilgrims and cleaning in the mornings. The beer/wine/food is free and I get a private room.
¡Qué Bueno!
