untold stories of the camino…
story 1: “the swedish ladies”
there were 2 ladies that we met on about the second day of walking who we saw all the time these past few days. one of them had flags on her backpack many of which were english speaking countries- so wr had to ask where they were from. turns out they were swedish and the one was just very well traveled! we saw them at all of our stops and had a few conversations with them- its always nice to see familiar faces along the way!
story 2: “the british couple”
last night at Mass in arca we ran into a couple from england- again heard the english and had to ask. they turned out to be really nice people who have been walking for 3 weeks and plan to arrive in santiago tomorrow for her 40th birthday. they invited us to have drinks wirh them last night and we had an awesome time! we saw them again today at mount gozo and plan to see them at the noon pilgrims Mass tomorrow.
story 3: “the cafe owner”
while we were having drinks with “the british couple” last night we were joined by the cafe owner who happened to have lived in england for 35 year- so she spoke very good english. she told us all about her life adventures and everything shes done- she was a very fascinating lady- its so cool to hear about peoples adventures!
story 4: “the crazy swedish lady”
yesterday we ran into a lady from sweden who had been walking since july! i think that is what made her crazy! she had nothing except the clothes on her back and a small grocery store bag of food. she was trying to talk to us in her broken spanglish- it was quite the experience. i have to say she was a very happy person though.
story 5: “the spanish slackpacking ladies”
on about the 3rd day there were 2 spanish ladies that of course werent carrying anything passed us amd offered mom pain medicine 
everyday since then we seem to see them multiple times a day and they always make sure we are ok. the humor in this story is they knew like absolutely no english haha. we saw them in the cathedral this evening and they were excited to see we made it and hugged us! they were such nice ladies!
i am sure there are many more- i will add them as we remember them!
