This is Anna from South Africa, walking along the canal into Frómista. She’s about our age or a few years older. We met her in the albergue in Hornillos that we stayed in 5 or 6 days ago. We seem to be going the same distance as she is each day. She starts out earlier than us, then we catch up with her and pass her. She walks slowly. We are moving quite a bit faster than she is but we walk the same distance. I love it when I see her up ahead, her slow steady gait is easy to recognize. She’s an inspiration to me. One slow step at a time gets you there. (It is rare that we meet pilgrims slower than us. I think everyone else we have met is way ahead.)
