- Frances ( 2007) Via de la Plata 2016/2017 . Sept 2018...Via de la Plata...May2019 via de la plata
A couple of weeks ago , on the camino somewhere between Riolobos and Galisteo i lost what i thought was about 45 /50 euros from my jacket pocket . That evening i stayed in the albergue in Galisteo, just round the corner from the "bar Des Emigrantes" , where i had my evening meal with another pilgrim from the albergue .
Part way through our meal a couple came in and sat down near us , the man then approached us and in very faultering English ask if we had come over the mountain from Riolobos . We both replied yes , to which he asked if either of us had lost any money .......WoW...i replied that i had lost about 40/50 euros . He put his hand in his pocket and said ." it was maybe this ?" , and produced 3 x 20 euro notes .
This couple had walked the camino an hour or so behind me and just saw the money on the ground near a gate . I offered to pay for their meal ,but they would not hear of it ......such honesty and kindness .
I don't know your names or even your nationality but whoever you are you did a good thing that day and i thank you once again for your genuine honesty .......bless you.
Regards........John
