I know this is a long shot, but it might lead to a nice Camino story. A pilgrim and I started the Norte from Irun on July 2 and at some point, she accidentally took someone else’s sock (just one sock). She just discovered it yesterday and we are in Bilbao now. I’ve also attached a photo. If it’s yours or you know who’s it is, please let me know. Thank you.
