9/30/2024 Mario
This evening I met at Mario, a man who was helping the hopsitalera with evening meals. He mentioned that has completed 57 Caminos. He is now retired but he had a job that allowed him to make them.
He said that once he walked some 77 days starting from just outside of Paris. He said there aren’t many services until you get to Le Puy–so he’d stay with Templar Knights. He also mentioned that he does the Caminos in January-February. I said it is cold then. He mentioned that “pilgrims who do it then, know what they want and I prefer to walk with them.”
I mentioned that with three days left, there is a kind of sadness know. A big difference from when we started and Santiago seemed like a far away prospect. Mario said there is a nostalgia that comes as the Camino comes to a close.
