Samos

I left Triacastella in Peter's hands and off Samos dude, what the first third of the Camino was preparation for: the second third of the Camino. It was not a long walk and I got there early. I got a couple of cafe con leches at a local bar  Appropriately so i was   wired by 1:00 am, the time to check in. checked me in Michael. I is a volunteer from California and I continued my practice of Inglés.   i told him the story of Phil and I said I would save two more beds near mine.   

I had emailed Maryka to take a cab when - if - she got to Sarria, so I Looked  expectantly at every cab came by. One finally stopped in front of the hostel and I saw someone waving from the back seat. I was crying to see her again. But, the hostel was starting to fill up. Her bed was saved, but Michael was not confident That he Could save one for Phil. We went across the street for a while we where waiting cervesa Maryka read Phil's blog. She was convinced They Were on their way and had me run across the street to talk to Michael again. As I was walking back to her, I heard "Hey, Rick." Phil was sitting in the sun looking at me.  He made ​​it !! And he HAD been here long enough To have ordered a beer  in Neighboring bar !! I do not know how he missed seeing Maryka, but he was not expecting her so she would Have Been Spanish just another girl to him. We went over to His bar and the whole gang was there. Rebecca, Jessica and Todd, Phil's film crew. All gracious kids, all smiles, all welcoming. Rebecca wanted to know of Phil Had Seen Maryka yet. He HAD not of course so i told Phil I was going to get my beer and be right back.  We spirited Maryka while film was rolling over. stood to greet her not soon Phil said "I've got to sit down." It was a true surprise that worked out just the way it should. What a rush.
