The pilgrim is like a snail, not only does it take a long time to travel the distance but it carries a world on its back. The average backpack contents consists of 1 to 2 changes of clothes and underwear. Life is simple on the way; walk, eat, drink, wash your smalls, sleep & repeat!
On the day in question, our socks had not dried completely overnight, so as can often be seen along the way; our socks swung lazily in the sun, pegged on the back of our packs as we trekked.
At the first rest stop, we discovered that one of Lea's sock had gone awol! (N.B. the humble sock is fundamental to any successful Camino journey). Subsequently trudging along, with Lea feeling despondent about her absent sock, we arrived at our Albergue for the night. After setting up our sleeping bag and ready to explore the town, our room mate appears. ' did you lose your sock'?. This peregrino angel had carried the errant sock and peg 15 kms to safely return it.
The Camino has an unique sense of community that brings back faith in mankind!
