Episode #6 Ipilgrim podcast -Albergue Etiquette Part 1 of 2

Hey Pilgrims,
We spend our time talking about being a "good pilgrim" or someone that cares for the area that they occupy within the system of Albergues.  Again, we have so much to talk about that we had to divide it up into 2 episodes. In the second part, we tackle a more controversial topic of snoring... yes, snoring
Until then, Steve, Sandy and I talk about check-in, Shower, Laundry and Kitchen etiquette when sharing a space with dozens of strangers.



As I looking through my journal again, I have to share a post about one of more favorite places --Bercianos del Real Camino. April 27, 2009
"At 3 pm I cruised into town and checked into the most beautiful Albergue. The owner is so nice, making each and every person feel at home. I have a top bunk in which I haven't quite figured out how to get up there yet.  I had a hot shower and paid 5 Euro for Internet and someone to wash my dirty underwear. As I write this, I'm sitting at a table int he dining room with a diet coke and a cafe con leche. I can tell...this place is going to make a fortune off of me.
The big joke always comes at bedtime for those of us who sleep on the top bunk. How the heck do you get up there?  First, you stand back to survey the possible maneuvers.  'perhaps I should attack it from the side? Or do a somersault over the end bar? Or should I put my foot on the bottom bunk, one foot on the side and hoist myself up? And, perhaps I should  go to the bathroom now because I don't think I'll be able to climb this twice.'"
It looks to be a busy weekend, and I hope to have part 2 up by the end of the weekend. Until then....

Buen Camino,
Deborah
