The first very Korean dinner which helps me to forget homesick



Night view of Plaza Mayor Salamanca


Embarrassing but to look different from the image of pilgrims; in fact, I don´t look so different from before.





So, now...


I´m in Madrid after taking a bus from Salamanca. This big city is full of tourists and very young people. Well, I´m still young but I found I´m maybe getting old as there´re so many young people in this hostel and I realised I can´t be the same any more. It´s funny, isn´t it?


It´s Saturday night so everybody went out for parties or some people are making lots of lousy noises here.


I was reading Lonely Planet after simple dinner, drinking beer and planning for later days. I´ll go to Prado and Tyssen Museum tomorrow and stroll around a park near the museums, having tapas with beer. I´m not really sure if I can stay here in the same hostel tomorrow, though as they said it´s fully booked but there can be possibility in the morning. I hope I can be here for next 2 more days and don´t need to move for a new bed with my bags.


Well, I finally paid for flights to Tenerife and Paris: 22 July from Barcelona to Tenerife, 30 July from Tenerife to Barcelona and 31 July from Barcelona to Paris. I could plan to go to Mallorca but the price including flight to Paris is nearly same with the ones for Tenerife. So, the final decision was made like this after so many times of complicated net surfing and phone calls to my friend in Tenerife. I´m free for next 2weeks not to think about these crazy things on the net even though new plans should be followed afterwards.


Oh, I forgot to tell you something.


I talked to my friend, Carlos in Tenerife last night to make sure everything and he talked about his friend who walked Camino Frances while I was on the same route. I´m not sure yet if he´s the one who walked with Edgar from Pamplona at night after lots of drinks but I guess he could be the one. I remember I asked him if he´s from Tenerife when I knew he stopped in Santo Domingo Plaza but we didn´t have a conversation then as I was talking to Edgar with this crazy night walk story. However, I´ll find out when I get there and if he´s the one... What a small world!! My friend said he works with him so... I probably can see him. Crazy, huh?
