Beginning at Rocamador we have been seeing pilgrims on the Camino, mostly on foot but two on bicycle. They are usually identified by a pair of high-tech walking sticks and sturdy boots ( the Butterfield and Robinson package hiking tourists dress the same, but don't have the pious gaze). Last night our neighbours in camp shared their story; they started walking in Munchen in July and expect to be in Finisterre by mid November. After a visit to Madrid, they fly to Tenerife where they will live for a year while he writes his next book. Some people are on such a different trajectory from our own.
After some consideration we ruled out altering course toward Santiago-Compostella and are continuing on our own pilgrimage of sorts to Avignon and Mt. Ventoux. Our path is somewhat more clear now that we have purchased the next map ...
