- Time of past OR future Camino
- Done : Le Puy to SJPdP in 2020.
Planned : Saint Jean to Santiago in 2021
I was a bit surprised over the last few weeks to see pilgrims moving past my front door in Cajarc, france. to be honest, given the current restriction, I didn’t even think they’d have found places to stay ... especially given they would be around 350+km in if starting the Le Puy route And even camping is just beginning to open.
In one way though it’s nice to see things like this, in another, it’s odd and unexpected. I imagine they are hoping things will change enough by the time they hit Spain though I doubt that .... or maybe they are just doing a section in France ... I don’t like to stop people and ask but will do so when I can sit at a bar terrace and just talk.
Before anyone asks ... yes they were pilgrims (unless they lied when asked and were carrying shells for fun)
i will admit to hoping for a resumption of my own journey in some form from SJPP by September ...but if not, well it’ll be later then.
