To be a pilgrim is to be defined. People have walked The Way for thousands of years and for thousands of years people have supported pilgrims.
I stopped at a pharmacy looking for gel inserts for my shoes (still no blisters😻). I was told the Super U (Target) four miles away had them. A non-English speaking French lady offered to drive me. She first took the time to help me find my Gîte to deposit my backpack, drove me to Super U to pick up items for herself and insoles for me, and then drove me back to the Gîte. Once there, she got out of her car to give me a proper good-bye kissing both cheeks and wished me ,”Bon Marchi” (Good walk). I was teary eyed.
The Camino provides. Ask any pilgrim.

Kindness everywhere. I see people by their homes and ask them to refill my water bottle. They seemed honored to be able to help a pilgrim. linda
