A Day On A Path
I sat in the grass on the side of the trail on the way to Orisson. Three young French fellows stopped to see if I was ok, and we had a little visit. One of them took my picture at Orisson. The sun was behind me- but I vouch that the woman in the photo is me.
They always work so diligently to straighten my hair and make me look civilized. This hair won’t see a blow dryer again until my next haircut.
Settled in my room and found dinner. As it is on the Camino, a person can walk solo, but we are not without companions. Met my first Pilgrims over dinner. I shared a table with Matthew, an architectural student from Paris, and a couple from Portland, OR. Matthew walked here from Paris, carrying his little tent, cooking gear, and water filter for gathering drinking water from small creeks. The Oregon couple started this Camino in Le Puy, France, and will walk on to Santiago- about a 1,000 mile walk. He’s 66 and she’s 70.
Remember her? Guitar girl?
