me again



not a whole lot has changed i guess.
so i just inform you about some things that did change.
it's snowing now, that's one thing that changed.
second, the number of pilgrims went down to one each other day.
i do have a good time with them.
sometimes there is more then one pilgrim staying, but mostly it's one on one conversations we have.
that leads to very intresting talks.
there was a lady who worked with the elections in the states, right after she came to walk the camino.
then there was a man from the canary islands, he was going to join the french legion.
he walked from sevilla to here in navarra, and had to go to marseille


these days the pilgrims ( that came)
came in at about 6
first we drink a cup of tea, talk about there walk that day, and how it wen.
then they go and fresh up a bit.
in the mean time i fix a meal.
we have a meal untill about 9.30, then i clean up and prepare the breakfast.
during the day i reorganise the rooms one by one, and work on my spanish.
on mondays, i meet up with the spanish pastor ( Abel) from Estella.
we read the Bible together.
he reads the english niv, and i read the spanish.

last saterday i was invited for a american thanksgiving meal, with the family who run the church in tafalla.
it is so good to have these friends around me here.
they all opened up there homes for me, invite me for meals, and just times to get out of the hostel.

i think i enjoy the solutarie life a bit to much.
i lock my self up here in the hostel.
in itself it's a good thing.
i needed a time to be on myself
reflecting.
when there are no pilgrims i watch a lot of podcasts
mars hill church sermons
sermon index. com
richard wurmbrand
gladys aylwards ( from "the inn on the sixth happiness")
and a spanish course called
"coffeebreak spanish"
done by a scottsman, very funny, so it's a more relaxing way of learning spanish.


we have a dutch to spanish "loi" course, here in the hostel, and that's more formal

this is a picture of a mans conference i went to a while ago



don't look for me, i'm way in the back, i just wanted to show the people i met here.

please let me know by email if and when you want to skype, then i'll get online.
otherwise i'm offline, because i'm all over in the hostel, and not behind my mac all day.

that's all for now folks
i hope to be back in the netherlands about the 16th of december.
then on th 5th of january i'll go back to spain.

maybe we can meet up

let me know
