Stamping credencials and selling hand made wooden trinkets near the ruins of San Anton. I always like to support these people.
It’s a little hard to see but all those black dots are pilgrims. There is a huge bulge that has not been seen before with the result that there are more pilgrims than there are albergue beds. I have noticed that the camaraderie of the walk is significantly less than at the beginning. People put their heads down and race to the albergues to get a bed. No time for socializing, for looking back at how far up have come, or just stopping to listen to the birdsong, which be spectacular.
The quintessential Ken. Listening to music on his FLIP phone (yep, flip phone) and drinking Spanish Riojas wine.
