had a terrific dinner with patrick last night. it wasn't so much that the food was out of this world as much as the company. of course, realizing we were parting ways the next day, we may have indulged in vino tinto a wee bit much! in fact, when the neighbouring table left a half-finished bottle of wine behind, patrick quickly pulled a switcheroo with our empty bottle! but not before catching a complicit smile from a pilgrim at a nearby table.
so much bonding in such little time. i left patrick standing on the river bank next to the fabled medieval puente la reina bridge looking forlorn as i waved goodbye. as we say en bon francais, ce n'est qu'un au revoir as i will do an about face in 2 days for my return stroll to pamplona where a night train will deliver me to barcelona. no doubt i will bump into many familiar faces going upstream and i hope his to be one of them. if not, patrick will pop over to paris from his native town of lille to visit before i head home.
