Yesterday we ate together with the 60 year old E. from California, who is working in the it sector. Today I walked some time with him and we talked about work, family and so on. The weather was nice and the way rather long, about 30km. Near Gondar, about 11km before Lugo, was a Oasis pelegrino where you can get water and fresh fruits and can pay as much as you want (donativo).
I met V. who walked on his Camino from his home town in France without money. He sleeps mostly in churches and asks people for food. He has almost finished his studies in medicine and he thinks about the question whether he should get vaccinated and finish his studies or if he should stay unvaccinated because of his conviction that vaccination has to be a free decision without pressure from the state… In which case he could not finish his studies and wanted to get a writer. I tried to find arguments for the first case without sounding like his father, whom he does not listen to… He said thank you for the wise decision help but he wants to wait with his decision until Santiago and I do not know at all what he will decide.
As a group we sat in the first bar in Lugo and had something to drink and some tapas… Afterwards it was siesta in my hostel and so I will check in later after 19.00.
