An American Surprise


We were sitting in our living room this afternoon when we heard singing down on the Plaza Mayor just below our apartment. When we listened carefully we realized that the language was English and the young men were very good singers. We opened our balcony doors and asked them where they were from: St. Gregory's Academy in Pennsylvania they said (Check it out HERE.)

This is the second time that the senior class has done a bike pilgrimage on the Camino de Santiago, traveling without money and making their "living" by doing singing and juggling shows in the towns they pass through. We gave them some food and after they had eaten (courtesy of the Sisters of San JosĂ© here in SahagĂșn) they came back to the Plaza to do a show and to collect some money.

The show was great (see photo) and the local people generous. We had a great evening of entertainment. Just another evening in a quiet little Spanish town!
