091509 Day Two Continued

Jopeh is a legend. He is a retired engineer from Mercedes and a grandfather. He is full of life and a wicked lady charmer. He speaks several languages sometimes at the sametime. He keeps using Italian instead of Spanish and confuses the hell out of me. If he can´t say it in one of the languages he knows he acts it out and uses sounds. He acts like a kid. Simply put we get along great even though we don´t understand each other half the time. We shared the cab from Ventosa when we were both shut out from the albergue. The taxi was the best taxi I have ever seen. It was freakin awesome. It was a Mercedes A class and we did about 90 miles an hour (if not more) to Asofra were I posted yesterday. The driver had more blink on him than a gangster rapper. The taxi business must be good.

In Asofra when were fortunate to get space on the floor in a long hallway. Next to some other German folk and a Polish Couple. Also in Asofra it became official my feet had massive blisters on them. When I showered it made me whince in pain. Jospeh and I ate dinner, split a bottle of wine a Rioja (named after the region of Spain were are in) and I posted my entry then tried to sleep in a fit of exhaustion. The next day we got up at 6 AM and set out for Santa Domingo de la Calzado. Tomorrow I will tell you about the chickens.

Also, please remember my posts are always a day behind due to travel and access to the internet.

Thank you for reading.
