[Gocamino] Legendary Hospitalero

[Kathy Gower]

and dear Felissa has gone home to her maker...

there was a legend that she couldn't read but started that job when asked to 
keep track of how many pilgrims walked by her stall on the narrow path to 
Logrono....she would puit a pebble in a jar for each one and give count that 
way.

i would nominate the hospitaleros from San Nicolas, the Italian 
confraternity's refugio, but they change every week as I understand.  Their 
hospitality, prayers and foot washing was a real godsend on my first 
camino....

Yes, Señora Felisa, rumored to be over 80, is the welcoming committee in 
Logroño. She greets us with figs, cold water and love. She has her own 
sello, and you can sign her guest book to send greetings to other 
Peregrinos. She has shelves full of these guest books, archives from the 
years of welcoming pilgrims. I also understand she cannot read. What a 
beautiful woman. Part of our Camino.
