Cam. Port. April 2024
I apologise for this verbage and I know in advance it's a long shot but, Don't ask, don't get.
I started the CF from Pamplona on 1st March 2019. As anyone who has done any of the Camino's will confirm, one walks in a 'bubble' that comprises, after a time, of the same people who come into and out of your life dependant on how fast/slow one walks.
For an old man (69 then,71 now) I was blessed with the delightful company of the youth of Europe plus a few more peeps from other parts of the World. For youth, read ladies. No I'm not stalking honest.
This afternoon I switched on the phone and out popped a series of photos, about seven in total that was taken near the start of the Camino. I know this because of a certain casualty in the photos who flew to Ireland on or about the 15th March.
Thing is, the sender is/was a person who's name I did not recognize and the screen said I had blocked her??? In an attempt to 'Unblock' her the pics. disappeared.
The name of the sender was, to this untutored eye non European. The first name started ESP??????????? or ESD (quite a long name) and the second name in the middle of it was ???NITI???. This is significant because, in my bubble was a lady from Taiwan who went by the name of NITTY (NITI ?) She was well known on the Camino at that time because, in addition to carrying a very large rucksack, she had an expensive digital camera, and she also carried a Poleroid camera. Invariably she was weighed down with plastic carrier bags as well. Her mantra was 'Taiwan, The REAL China' . It might also be significant that in the fleeting time I had seeing the screen I saw at least two of the photos she took of me in the Company of Johanna and Leah from Leipzig and Corinna from Paraguay. There were other group shots, including me inside a stone building and as well as the aforementioned in the group there was another lady from Germany named Saskia.
So there you have it. I lack the expertise to even try to recover the photos from my phone but I feel awful that someone; A, Tried to send me photo's and I blocked them and B, I failed to unblock her a second time.
If anyone out there with as fond a memory as I have of completing my CF who can put me in touch with any of the above, especially NITTY so that I can have another go at getting the photos, I would welcome such an outcome.
Here is a photo of yours truly with 'Nitty' taking the photo.
