Meeting Up Again

Some but not all, and other routes too.
Last year (Sept/Oct) I met up with some really nice Pilgrims, as you do. One couple I never walked with but kept meeting up at various Albergues along the way, struck a cord with me. We would eat together in the evening that we met and discuss all sorts of useless things.
They were originally from Poland but settled in Canada about 35 years ago, we kept in touch when we left Santiago , still reminiscing on the limited times we spent together.
I have just taken them up to Heathrow for their flight back to Canada after spending a delightful 5 days at my home.
It's true what they say, friendship on the camino will last forever.
Just thought I'd share.
 
The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.

I have kept in touch with Susan and Treasa, best friends and pilgrims from Ireland whom I met on the Camino in the fall of 2015. We will all be meeting in Burgos in September 2016 to pick up the Camino where we left off last year. I too, believe that our friendship that developed on the Camino will last forever. Buen Camino to you!
 
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.

If this was Anya and Janusc? I walked with them, ate with them, commiserated with them and celebrated with them on arriving in SdC. Together with a peregrina from Amsterdam, their company was the joyful centre of my Portuguese camino.
