The saying "The Camino provides" is a popular one, but I like mine: "God provides." Notice in my last blog the word luck was in quotes. I don't believe in that either. God has shown up way too often for me not to believe and here is no different. For example, the sunrise over the Pyrenees that inspired us on to many long climbs, more than I ever could have managed normally. Making it through fog, mists, and 30-40 mph winds our first full day. The French showing up: we, along with a French couple were completely baffled at our next step, but unable to communicate, when all of a sudden a carload of French came up by car, for who knows what reason, and spoke the directions to our companions. And finally, the new friends: Jean and Megan from NM, Kate and Lou from Oxford, Christopher from Cambridge, and so many others. Yes, God provides.
