The long, rocky miles pass quickly when I’m hiking with lovely folks from all over the world.
This rowdy group is composed of Vivek from India/Dubai, Jocelyn and Sarah from New Zealand, Isairo and Luis from Brazil, and a California gal. We had such fun chatting about our countries, where we have hiked, and what inspired us to walk the Camino.
The stork nests that sit atop nearly every church we pass are another bonus of walking the quiet Meseta.
Here are a few favorite photos of the past couple of days:
There was a video taken of me receiving my pendant from Sister Ernestina. (Thank you, Mary!) I had no idea I was being recorded, but I’ll treasure the memory of this moment ❤️
Buen Camino, everyone! Thank you so much for your kind words and encouragement. 😘
Susan, you are truly blessed to be hiking among such beauty - poppies, storks, and unique chapels! I especially love the video of you receiving a new pendant from that special nun. Enjoy your journey as you hike alongside pilgrims from around the globe. Buen Camino! 🇪🇸😁
Looks like a fun and lively group of pilgrims! You standing among the poppies is a great shot, but my first reaction was uh-oh, Wizard of Oz vibes. 😂
Beautiful photos. Red poppies, friendly folks and blue skies certainly ease every step. 😎
So that’s where the myth of storks delivering babies originated. Thanks for your international friends and red
Poppies. Enjoy!
😁😁🦋❤️👬👬👬❤️❤️❤️
