Our Camino Family

We have managed to collect quite a Camino family made from all sorts of people.
One Italian farm boy named Aureliano who only eats, drinks and sleeps.
Dan, the American who wishes he could be a veggitarian but can never actually stop eating meat, thinks the Camino is a race, loves pasta and joking about Aureliano.
The two girls from Leipzig, Patrizia and Stephanie, who are the most chill Germans on the Camino.
The Spanish Señor who is completing his 8th Camino de Santiago in his late 60s. He offered all of us invaluable support, councel and medical help with our blisters and heat rashes.
Michel, the 25 year old from Luxembourg who flyes home on Sunday and on Monday starts his first job. (Really the first time he has ever worked in his life! Although he is starting as a lawyer...)
Jurgen the German marathoner who we saw for a day until he stoped and chatted with the group and asked for a final photo as "I walk much faster than you do!" We have not seen him since.
The Camino attracts so many different people who can bond over blisters, hunger, incapacitation, sunburns and attempting to communicate with a host of languages.

I think the moment that deserves mention was when we had stopped at one of the rest areas and Aureliano fell asleep on one of the benches. After a few minutes, he sat up, jamed a ton of chips into his mouth and fell back down asleep.
Jurgan looked at us and said deadpan, "Ziz is not a life."
Absolutly capturing the pilgrim culture that we have only just begun amassing on our Pilgrimage.
