We spent some time today with four walkers - two men and one lady from Holland and one man from Germany. I would guess in their late 60's - they all had walked from their homes and are destined to be in Santiago in about a week. They will have done about 3,000km's each - so similar to the AT in distance. They met on the trail and the German did not know the folks from Holland - but the German man and one of the men from Holland both became grandfather's while on the trail walking together. Both grand children were born on July 10th! The same day as Julia's birthday. How is that for a small world. Pretty amazing walk - they all look in great shape and I hope we get to see them again in Santiago.
A prayer tonight for all grand parents and great appreciation for their roles in our lives and the lives of our children.
Blessings
Bob
PS from Julia - I'm missing Miles and all my baby time!!! (Missing his parents too! haha)
Love reading the blog! The last few days sound like your meeting lots of people and walking good miles! A lot like what the AT was like.
ReplyDeleteHow many miles are you doing each day? How far have you gone so far?
