People along the Camino(s)

In Cebreiro I almost immediately met and talked to a woman from Brittany, where Annie is from and where the Anminroti spent a week together in 2003.

Then my walking partner Bill and I met a group of Koreans.  People come from all over the world, so our second day we met a very nice couple, Paul and Mary Beth, from Marin County, over GGB!

 The next day we met a French woman, Therese, and her friends Nadine and Claud

 Here are the people we got to know while waiting for the dryer in the laundry room in Portomarin.

Alberto traveling with his son Afredo 

I've shared this in an earlier post, but I want to keep Rosa and Annie with me!

 A Costa Rican family--three generations--Annie and I met at the Puerta del Sol.

Agnes and Annie giving directions to two lovely young women.  (Usually we're the old women asking directions!)

 Agnes drove us around Paris.

 Catherine joined us at our first vegan restaurant in Paris.

Jutta and I wished her son Jan a Happy 40th birthday.

Jutta, Annie and I met Betsy and Sal at Angelina's.

 Karl came in from New Jersey, and Isabelle and Thomas came in from Brooklyn.

Jim came in from Connecticut.

We took the NYC group picture on the roof of The New York Towers, where Barbara Occionero, Matteo's grandmother, lives.

Great people!  Great Trip!  And even a successful vegan pilgrimage!  I found good food, and I successfully used Spanish in Spain, French in Paris, and English in New York!
