Who helped locate my phone on the Portugués way. I left it when I stopped to take a picture and was distracted. Someone picked it up and took it to the police, my son was then able to retrieve it from them. There Is quite a network out there looking out for each other. Thank you to all the pilgrims , the biker and the policia!

Two Camino Rules were invoked here:

1. Saint James (Santiago) works in strange ways. St. Anthony is a close friend of his. They frequently tag-team together to locate lost items...;)

2. The Camino Provides. Somehow, most of us have learned over the years that if you need something, it will happen...

Personally, I am way past questioning these serendipitous incidents. Over several years, I have seen dozens of such things happen. Now, I just believe, accept, and celebrate the good fortune and happy outcomes...

Just sayin...

I absolutely agree, when my son returned with my phone, I thanked him and said I wasn’t worried. He seemed perplexed and I explained, the Camino provides and if it hadn’t been returned to me that’s ok too. It’s just a phone, bigger things in life to exert energy on. However I was still happy to see it back.
