I belive so
You encountered a Camino Angel Peter.
and it was great that @Agnogel shared this story with us to remind us that this is so.I'm so happy it turned out this way, Peter.
I believe MOST people are good.
The term "Camino Angel" is much the same as "Trail Angel/AT Angel" and usually connotes something "good" that happens in a bad, or possibly misfortunate situation.I think it great that you recovered your things, and I can imagine your relief that these weren't taken. However, it worries me that what seems to be normal human respect for others' property is seen to be as 'angelic'. That seems a sad reflection of our expectations of others.
This doesn't surprise me at all. So happy you got your things back. Been Camino.Day two of my camino on my walk from Orisson to the monastery at Roncesvalles I was very tired and sore when I reached the albergue it was not opened for to go to your bed and we had to wait a few minutes. I sat on a bench in the hallway while my thoughts were on the walk I had just completed then a hospitalero opened the room you leave your boots in. I had my passport my wallet my phone and my credencials that I had just got stamped at the reception in a small zip lock bag in my hand. I put the bag down on the bench beside me to remove my boots and I then went into the room to leave the boots on one of the shelves. I then headed up to the top storey to my bunk when I arrived I went to take off my jacket and I put my hand in my pocket to take out the zip lock bag I then discovered i had left it down stairs.
Tired and sore as I was I ran back down the stairs to the bench I had been sitting on but no zip lock bag was to be seen I then found a hospitalero in the hallway I asked her about the bag and she told me some one had handed it in to reception. At that moment a great sigh of relief came over me almost like the hand of God had just touched me. I went to the reception and another hospitalero had it sitting on a shelf waiting for me. I asked who had handed it in to thank them and was told we don't know who, To say I am grateful for that honest person is an understatement. I later said a prayer for who ever it was that saved this pilgrim's camino.
If ever that person happens to read this post I thank you from the bottom of my heart and I pray your camino is as rewarding as mine.
Thank you
yours Peter
