Camino Angel

It’s been a lovely few days made even better by the folks I’ve met along the way.

1 - Camino Angel

My Spanish drug supplier. He heard me asking for directions to a pharmacy because I’m out of Ibuprofen. The next one was 12km away so he told me to wait and ran off. He returned with an Ibuprofen for me and refused to be paid. He gave me a hug and a kiss on my sweaty cheek. Such a sweetie!🥰

2 - The Dean Family

I met the Deans as they watched and chuckled at my ibuprofen acquisition. Amy and Russ are co-pastors at a progressive Baptist church in Charlotte, North Carolina. Parkroadbaptist.org

Lovely, musically talented family who are such fun to hike with. Trumpet players!

The weather has been good, the miles have been long, and I’ll get a rest day in Burgos after I arrive tomorrow.

Here are a few of my favorite photos from the past few days…

Typical Camino Day:

Awake at 5 - coffee, pack, breakfast, gear-up

Hiking by 7:15

Arrive to destination by 2 or so

Find hotel and have a big meal

Have a look around the village - Do laundry

Asleep by 7 ( Yes, 10 hrs sleep is perfect after a 15 mile day. 😴)

Repeat ❤️

I’m grateful for the patience and kindness of the Spanish folks I meet and my fellow pilgrims.

Buen Camino!🇫🇷🥾❤️🎶😴
