Dance (and Smile) While You Work

We walked into a tiny town this morning, hoping the one bar would be open for breakfast, and heard quite loud music. We thought “gosh, is that coming from the bar?” But no, it was some outdoor workers who had brought music with them. I don’t think this man minded that I took a video of him enjoying the music (might take a minute to load, hang in here till you see him really get going dancing, you might have to click start):

Just across the street some other men were laying flat stones to build quite a pretty wall.

Finding just the right stone for the wall. This must be hard but interesting work.

Unfortunately, the bar was not open. We kept walking and two miles later found one that was open. Shortly after we got there it filled up with pilgrims! We are starting to see lots of fellow peregrinos.

A bar full of pilgrims. The bar owner had to work hard to serve everyone but he seemed unfazed. Just stayed relaxed and smiling and working steadily. I’m sure all these businesses are glad to have the Camino “open” again. We’ve heard many did not survive the pandemic.

    1. The music was great. Didn’t come out sounding quite so good in the video. I’ll always smile when I think of that guy.
