"When you meet anyone, remember it is a holy encounter. And as you see them you will see yourself “

From the Home Base:

Joe did not have wifi today, but was able to share via email some of his day.  I'd like to also share some quotes from that communication.  Today was from Navarette to Azofra (24 km in 7 hrs).


"I left about 7:30 this morning and was stopped by a man just on the outskirts of town. Name was Alex and a resident of Navarette. He asked if I would mind if he walked with me so he could practice his English. We walked together for about 1 1/2 hours until I made a stop for breakfast. Very interesting guy. 51 years old and was a manager of some kind. Says he is writing a book on the Camino. His English was pretty understandable and it was nice to have some company first thing in the morning. Any more would have been total overkill. Never stopped talking, but I did learn a lot about how the Spanish don't pay all of their taxes."

At the end of the day's hike:

"Albergue here is interesting in that it is divided into two bed cubicles with a door. My roomy is an Italian guy who doesn't speak any English. It goes without saying that we have not had much of a conversation."

No new pictures to share yet.  We all have you in our thoughts and prayers.
