Day Twelve: Villafranca de Bierzo

Tonight we are staying in the albergue ave Fenix, which is quite famous on the Camino. It is a bit if a hodge podge of building pieces all put together by Jesus Jato, the owner and proprietor. It's eclectic style is based on the available materials he had.
Once the albergue burned, but it is my understanding that he had a vision to rebuild it, this the name Phoenix. 
The dorm rooms are a bit attic and a bit tree house. 
But it is one of the special places to meet other pilgrims, share a meal, and be open to the friendships that will come.
We are here with Lucy, an Aussie we met along the way. She had been studying in France and decided to walk the Camino before heading home.

Hello Len and David. Just heard that you guys were doing this trek. How exciting. I remember when Lan and Caroline went a few years ago. Hearing about your camino it made me want to go and see "The Way" with Martin Sheen. But Len I guess you already knew the title and the star of the movie! Keep us posted on the journey. Love you guys, Steven and Sean
