Small world - Don't cha love it!

[CaptBuddy]

Yesterday morning, on our daily walk, Beth and I saw a woman walking in the neighborhood, with a full pack and full 'camino' gear. On a hunch, I shouted to her, "are you preparing for a hike somewhere?".
"Yes," was the reply, "I'm going to walk in Spain."

Well, you can imagine that we nearly ran over to her and we were delighted to recount our own glorious Camino adventures. Our new peregrina friend is also named Beth, and is walking the Norte in April with a group of friends. She is an experienced hiker, so it was easy to talk and share info with her.

We told her that we had not walked the Norte, but that we have family in Santander and that we love the North Coast and, I'm sure, we overwhelmed her with a list of our favorite sites along the way.

The Camino has given us adventure, great stories, friends, memories, and an appreciation of living with others and sharing with them. And it keeps giving those things, whenever I look around.

Buen Viaje to our new friend, and Buen Viaje to all the Norte Peregrinos, past, current and future.
We may join your ranks next year.

I had the exact same experience! I saw a gal walking with a backpack and poles on my walk along a Mississippi riverfront trail a month after returning back home from walking the Camino in 2015. I couldn't resist my curiosity, so stopped and asked her if she was training for something. Imagine my excitement and surprise when she answered "Yes, I'm training for the Camino de Santiago in Spain." We have since become friends!
