Engaging pilgrims ...

After a quiet evening and restful night, without roommate on upper bunk, breakfast brings engagement with another human in the form of Nadia, a Danish pilgrim on third Camino, this one having started in Le Puy two months ago ... abandoning her, the first hour warms the legs and sets the pace all the way to Cobreces and thoughts of coffee before Maarten intervenes, having started here just before ten ... from Holland, having started near Irun and seeking meaning on Picos route up to Santo Toribio ... a coastal alternative leads to church with posh restaurant preparing for festive lunch and kindly offering coffees in the midst of the work ... Nadia turns up for brief reunion as we set off, though photo ops detain again and she passes and joins the conversation into Comillas and parting of the ways ... San Vicente looking tricky for late lunch and ambitious Unquera unlikely as ambitious early possibility ... restaurant outside town offers Menu del Dia to feed the organism for afternoon stage in warm sunshine ... completed before five in San Vicente and Hotel Luzon as last time ... Serdio a little far after morning delays engaging with other humans ... tomorrow Santa Toribio option occurs, though unlikely ... maybe Llanes again, maybe not ... looking a little like Groundhog Day ...
