I travelled alone to SJPdP to what I thought was going to be my solo journey, however from Day 1 found a wonderful family who welcomed me with open arms, we've looked for each other, cared for each other, shared lots of stories and experiences together.

This is what the Camino is all about. It's not the walking, but the people one meets and all the experiences shared. :)
