Early on today we walked alongside a group of five from south California. Two couples and a single man. Three of them were priests and the single man wasn't really single. He had left his wife behind, too fat apparently to tackle the walk.
The two Venezuelans who could be father and son passed us at speed (as they did yesterday) and we kept company with another American guy who had been walking for several weeks for a short time. .
So far we've exchanged pleasantries or a little conversation with Americans, Australians, a Dane, South African, and a lone Brit. People tell us there aren't many people from the UK on The Camino. We've overheard lots of Spanish of course and the occasional French and German. People are incredibly friendly and say hi, hola or buen camino whenever they catch up with and pass others on the path. It creates a wonderful feeling of community and whilst there are lots of people, it is by no means busy.
