This is the first group of pilgrims we saw on the Camino this morning. When we see people we often make up elaborate and completely fictional, stories about them. All couples do that, right? Here goes.
This photo shows less than half of the group. They were all women.
Some things to notice: the are all walking together, they all seem similar in age and general look, they all have poles in their packs, most of them have rolled up mats in their packs, their packs were small. They had pilgrim shells on their packs. Clearly this is a guided pilgrim group where you sign up for a Camino tour. They are having their luggage transferred for them. Their common bond is yoga.
We went on speculating and Wynette said if we catch up to them and they are in tree pose we could be sure we nailed it. A little while later we were looking for a bar and I speculated that we might find it full of yoga pilgrims who all wanted special herbal teas and we would not get our cafe con leche. It seems we dodged the bullet though because we went a little off the Camino and found this bar, completely free of tea-drinking yoga pilgrims on a packaged tour.
Jealous.
There were yoga-surf classes offered in Morocco. I guess if you pair yoga with anything, it becomes a bigger business.
