The town of Murias (hot, windy, hard to understand how it survives) was basic just like the albergue we stayed in. We had a room and a bathroom to share with 20 other people. The most extraordinary thing happened at dinner. We were waiting for the pilgrim meal of the day and the owner of the small bar asked if we would rather have something grilled. She was tired and it was one hot day so we said yes that sounds great.
As we waited outside she invited us in to the garden area, brought wine and said that the meat would be done soon. What her and her sister fed us blessed us so much. Out came a small hibachi with grilled small ribs, blood sausage, chorizo, and lamb. Then came the toasted bread, soft grilled peppers, tomatoes in olive oil, French fries, aoli and lime chili sauce. We had a private meal made special for us that made Doug cry. He had smelled BBQ in a park 2 weeks ago and this meal just dropped in our laps. Again God is good.
Walking was nice and short. One of the interesting things we have found is that you can never tell what the inside of a church will look like by the outside. The picture of the gold alter is in a church in ElGanso with the most austere front. Wow!!
PS "Once your enemy, now seated at your table, Jesus thank you!"
Mindboggling! (Doug speaks)
