- Time of past OR future Camino
- To Santiago and back. Le Puy to Aumont-Aubrac.
I am curious about "camino angel". On the way up to the Alto de Perdon, I had already outed myself as a Camino ignoramus when we had to stop to let some cyclists pass and got into chatting with another group. While introducing themselves, a "Jack from Ireland" was mentioned, to great hilarity all around. I had to ask who he was as I had never heard of him nor seen him before.
Not much later, at a stop in the next village, someone said first to me and then to her neighbour that I was their "camino angel". I did not dare to ask where that came from - Shirley MacLaine, Paul Coelho?
BTW, I had not done anything particular that I had not done before many times: trying to teach someone who was obviously unfit and inexperienced to understand that going up a modest hill - or a long flight of stairs for that matter - really slowly slowly was the least exhausting way for him to reach the top.
