Today there is a hotel full of exhausted pilgrims. The pilgrims who stayed all night just want a shower and a clean bed. There is lots of sunburn, sweat and dirt to be had all over our hotel, among our pilgrims and throughout the city. I was not able to stay all night, but a shower and bed felt very good. The pilgrims who went back for mass this morning were glad they did. For the rest of us, Father Uriel will celebrate mass with us at 4 pm in the hotel.
After we celebrated mass with Father Uriel, we played a game (Purple Socks) for those who are familiar. We then had some sharing and prayer time with our group. It was a review of the trip; where we have been, who we met, new friends made.
We will go to dinner tonight as a group for the last time . It seems like we have been together for years, yet just had our first dinner the night before we flew out of Sacramento.
The restaurant that Alfredo found for us was a tapas place called La Divina. It was delicious. One of the best things we had was a tortilla. This isn't a tortilla like you are familiar with. It's more like a potato fritatta. That would be slices of potato sliced thin with just a little bit of beaten egg and baking soda to keep it fluffy. It looks like it's baked in an iron frying pan til crispy. Crispy and yummy!
