Hi Sil and Javier,
Great to have a picture of you both. Whereabouts is Maneru? How long before you get to Santiago (?) assuming you're going all the way.
Buen Camino,
Brendan
 
Hello Brendan,
The photo was taken on 27th August when we both happened to be walking between Puente la Reina and Lorca - Maneru is about 4.5km from Puente la Reina. Javier recognized my South African flag and asked if I knew a woman named Sil! It was wonderful to meet him and Fernando.
 
The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.
Yes, it was great for me because I knew Sil was walking but I thought she was one day back.

Two weeks ago we were near to meet Javier, he was walking one day before us.

Cool pic and it's nice to see the people we chat to on the net.

I've been absolutely snowed under since I came back to work. Doesn't seem like only 5 weeks ago I came back.
 
A explanation. Here there are.. Two Javier .- One Javier from Madrid with Sil ( photo )
and another Javier from Pamplona who I´m...perhaps more habitual in this forum and who knows only a little English.-
Good morning and buen Camino
