Almost to Burgos 2

Ola again,

I decided to post twice this evening because I have so much to share.

Yesterday while sitting under a tree outside the church where St. Dominique, was born and baptized, we were approached by this tall, red-headed Irish fellow. We had seen him where we had stayed the night before, but had not been introduced. Well we started talking and it turns out that he is a physics professor from the university of Scranton in Penn. WHich was very exciting for my friend because she is a physics major. Well, we sat and chatted for a while and before I knew it we were discussing why humans should be kind, as in where the ¨should¨ comes from, this led down the path to a very philosophical conversation. He walked with us for most of the rest of the day and we talked about literature, physics, love, what and why certain things are considered masculine or feminine. It was this amazing conversation, and the best part was it was not him lecturing us, it was us sharing information and thoughts both directions. It was a really powerful conversation, the stuff we talked about left my mind realing for most of the evening.

It is those moments, days, and hours that are making every step one of the most fulfilling experiences, I have ever had.

Night,

Amanda
