Camino Friends

We have met so many wonderful friends along the way from all over the world.  Can't believe the camino is so international. Some friends we may only see once and then others we run into along the camino continuously.  Some you share a pilgrim's meal or some just wine at a local bar.  Here are a few of our friends along the camino that we will always remember!

Our friend from the monastery that provided a perfect night for all of us pilgrims.

Pam and her husband Steve are from Oregon and Karen. 

This man is 76 has survived cancer and had two hip replacements. An inspiration to all. 

Anna, a doctor from Germany and Hub, from the Netherlands. 

Geiseila and Heinz. They have walked all the way from Stuggart, Germany and will walk all the way to Santiago. Getting ready to celebrate their 100 day of walking. So far they have walked over 1200 miles. He is an attorney and she is a homemaker. 

More from our German Friends. 

Jay and Carrie from Seattle. We met them our first night in Orrison at our very first pilgrims meal. Jay introduced Lee to Crocs and he has been looking for them in every village we pass. 

Anna, Karen and me. We keep crossing path and we have enjoyed hanging out with them. 

Steve, from South Wales, and Ian who is Karen's husband. Cool guys!

Karen and Ian together. Love these guys. Ian is from Zimbabwe and Karen is from England and they met when they working in Hong Kong. Interesting. 

Veronica is amazing. She is not a camino pilgrim, but she has helped us out so much since we have been in Carrion de Los Condes. A true lifesaver for everything we needed from housing to directions to warm clothes for the cool mornings ahead. Whatever our need, she helped out!!!! We will always remember her!!!
We met this couple earlier in the Camino. Jon Christopher and Alexandra.  Cute couple and they are taking the next two years to travel around the world. They have been working for 12 years. Taking their retirement money to take this trip. She is a nurse and he is a baker. Will work if they need to, but they hope not. 

Jo and Lou from Canada. 
He is assisting with the clean up renovation of the Leon Cathedral. 

We keep running in to this couple. Ken and Karen from Canada.
