The family

A quick overview of the people I am curently travelling with, since they have become my new camino family and are wonderful:

Jo and Nancy from Quebec: I met these two in France and we kept bumping into each other along the way. In Leon we saw them again and have been together ever since. They are fabulous, funny, and insightful, but sometimes Quebec French is incomprehensible to me.

Tobias: Tobias is from Holland and has walked from his home to Spain. He is tall, has shoulder-length white blond hair, carries a wooden staff with a scallop shell and has a sixth sense-ability to find us even if we haven't seen him all day. For these reasons we have christened him Legola, or just "the elf". He is an old, wise spirit in a young man's body and is a blesing to walk with.

Olaf: Also from Holland, also walked from his house, but has worked in France along the way so has been on the road for a bout two and half years. He's even taller than Tobias and for this reason we call him the giant or the Ent (yes, we're Lord of the Rings fans)

Jerome: I have already mentioned him, but we have shared som much of this road and talked about every subject under the sun. We think the same things at the same time, challenge each other, heal each other and he has been a big part of my road.

Eric: eric is like a little ray of sunshine wrapped up in human form. he wants to be a sheperd and has the calmest and funniest spirit. nothing seems to shake him.

Etienne: another Quebec recruit, relaxed and friendly. He shrunk his zip-off pants bottoms, so now he walks in shorts and tights. Funny.
