After a slow start this morning, we ran into Emilio who is an engineer and lived for much of his life in Rhode Island. He moved to Spain because family lives there and when asked why he was traveling the Camino. He said it was” a bit of starting over”. He said at 66 years old he grew weary of the life of an engineer and decided to head to Spain, where he had family and his sense been walking the Camino spending time with family while he decides what he wants to be when he grows up That’s the Camino!

a day for making new friends we later ran in to Roger who we walked with for several miles. He’s from North New Zealand and he’s on the Camino because he can be 🙂 he owned and managed his own farm for decades and then found that he could lease it to someone else and actually make more money than he made when he managed the farm! he told Brenda “it didn’t take me long to figure out that was a good deal” so now he enjoys life and has the opportunity to visit his son who live in Spain with his wife.
