Miles Today: 12
Total Miles Completed: 75 (roughly)
We're learning what "Camino friends" are.
I'm hiking with two other Americans close to my age. Although most of the pilgrims are European and older than us, they've embraced us. We cook each other dinner. We do laundry together. We know each other's physical weaknesses and daily check-in with "How's your knee?" or "Do your feet feel any better today?"
Maybe voluntarily putting your body through pain is a bonding experience. Maybe the kind of person who uses their vacation days to go on a spiritual pilgrimage is just super kind. And the cheap but delicious Spanish wine certainly doesn't hurt.
