With my walking partner Saiyeeda...Beautiful views after the rain!! We are getting close to our 1/2 way point!! Yes everyone we pass on foot, or bike or locals.. Everyone wishes you a ' buen Camino' !!
100k /60m to Santiago!! Have done 17k/10m.. Still a ways to go.. Many interesting pilgrims along the way.. Spent little time w/ a 13yr old.. He was way ahead of me.. Noticed he was walking slow & funny.. He said it was his 3rd day.. He had blisters.. He's from so. Spain .. Walking w/ 25 family members!! So he & I walked for along for quite a while..sharing stories of life..he spoke English .. & I ans'd him back in Spanish .. After a while ..nature called.. Told him to go ahead .. As I headed out to nature-- he stopped and asked if I would Pls catch him again.. I promised.. Caught up w/ him .. He had a big smile.. He said you know .. Since we have been walking together my feet haven't hurt!! Sweet.. Some of his relatives came up behind us .. And I commented.. On what an amazing spirit he is.. His aunt said he is an angel.. And they kept walking.. I walked w/ him til he stopped and said he had to sit down for a while.. He would Wait for his mom..He looked at me and said-- how old are you?? I said -today 50 yrs older than you. He shook his head-- said he couldn't believe I was that old-- I said I am-- he said - but you don't even look tired!!! Omg lol.. Told him I wasn't.. Not all old people get - get old or tired!! It was news to him.. Thanked him for sharing about his life & the road...too sweet!!
The shell.. The lines represent all the different paths/ routes that all end Santiago compostal.. St.james church .. Wearing one means u are a pilgrim on the path .. As you walk along the path you look for the shell on the walls ...signs.. So one stays on the path...
