[QUOTE="Mooncat, post: 439890, member: 45117"] All of the people I met had inspirational stories. I am not kidding. There was one fellow walking with a colostomy bag. He passed me, smiling. There was an older Dane walking in between colon cancer surgeries. At one point, he said his knee was hurting him and had to slow down a bit. Because of that, I was able to keep up, for a while. Then, three Danish women caught up to him and he said his knee pain had vanished. I met a Spaniard, Fermin, who had done 7 Caminos, round-trip. His first began as he was enlisted to recover the body of the son of a friend who had died on the Camino. He was 77. I met an Irishman, David, who had done 9 Caminos, and who had never been on the internet and didn't own a cellular telephone. (If anyone else met this Irishman and has his address, I would appreciate you contacting me please.) David's company was marvelous during my short time with him on the walk. I met several women hiking alone, in their late teens. They took my breath away with their focus, self-confidence and positive attitudes. I met a young Dane who talked in his sleep in 3 languages. I met an American from Austin who had an anaphylactic reaction on the trail and whose life was saved by a Bulgarian. He returned the favor when the Bulgarian had an allergic reaction three days later and he restored his breathing. Both were nurses with food allergies and did not speak a common language. I was repeatedly amazed by the people I met. Amazed and inspired. [/QUOTE]
