In this bonus episode, I start by talking about the struggles of finding a place to stay while carrying the wounded Italian Guy, and dehydrating in the summer sun. I introduce Louis, the Czech guy, who we met in the Albergue and how we go for a nice pilgrim menu in a local restaurant. I then tell the story of my encounter with the devil! My friends love this story! They find it funny, but I was genuinely terrified at the time! I lived to tell the story though and it reminded of a moment when I used to deliver newspapers.
