A funny thing happened on the way to the forum

Join the Camino cleanup. Logroño to Burgos May 2025 & Astorga to OCebreiro in June
This story is second hand, told to us by one of our camino family, told to her by the pilgrim to whom it happened, he was from Egypt. He was travelling through a small town/village on the CF and desperately needed to use the toilet but everyplace was closed. He saw a business premices still open and went inside to ask if he could use the loo. There was no one at reception so he walked around until he saw the toilets and went inside and used them. When he came out the place was locked up and he couldn't get out. after searching around he found an open door and and went in only to find some dead bodies all laid out on tables and some in coffins, it was a mortuary which had closed for lunch, he panicked and ran until he found an emergency exit and burst out only to set off the alarms, he just kept running until he was out of town and swore that that was the last time he ever looked to use a loo unless in a cafe. :)
