Met up with a group of Pilgrims and Pilgrims-to-be for a day hike at Big Basin. A perfect day for hiking in a fantastic park overrun with redwoods. I was a bit apprehensive as I did not know anyone, and generally find American have a different perspective on travel and the world than I do. Still, I figured it was worth the risk, they were all coming together because of Camino.
I met many interesting people, those filled with worry and excitement as they planned their Camino and those who are Pilgrims once, twice, and three times over. I felt a great camaraderie, there is just a connection, a deeper understanding of humanity I think...being with other Pilgrims filled a void and I was reassured that it was an incredibly beautiful and inspiring experience that does not go away.
