One of the unexpected discoveries is that English is the preferred language of the Camino. The Italians, French, Germans, Dutch, English, Koreans, and Japanese don't know a lick of Spanish. So they all talk to each other (and to the Spaniards) in their second language: English! It's amazing that there are such deep discussions, abstract musings, and hilarious joking all happening in a second language.
On the plus side, you will be proud to know that the Spaniards have complimented me on a daily basis on how good my Spanish is. As a matter of fact, I have become acquainted with many Europeans and Asians simply on my ability to act as translator for them! Lol!
