There\u2019s no question that the Camino is unique experience, there\u2019s a sort of magic to just getting there.<\/p>\n

Our last night in Spain before catching the bus to St. Jean Pied de Port we found a nice place to have a quiet dinner, or so we thought \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Having finished dinner and quietly having a glass of red wine together, we saw a couple we spoke English, with a British accent, dancing in the aisle and having a little fun. It wasn\u2019t long before they shared our table and we talked about life in the British isles and their desire to see more of America. \u00a0Minutes led to hours and strangers became friends and that\u2019s kind of how it works on your way to the Camino.<\/p>\n

As the evening ended we said goodbye to our new friends, Ian and Carrie with hugs and kisses and knowing that we certainly will meet again.<\/p>\n

With an early morning, wake up and packing our backpacks, short cab ride to the bus station, and we boarded the bus for an hour and a half trip towards our launching point in France.<\/p>\n

One thing we\u2019ve learned about the Camino is it every part of the process is an adventure and brings the unexpected. For now we say goodbye to Spain and the stop that was too short and our newfound friends.<\/p>\n

Buen Camino<\/p>\n
