The Camino Day 35 – Lavacolla

I walk behind this couple for a ways and admire the obvious love they share. The tender way they hold hands. I invade their intimacy by snapping a picture. I can’t resist. Then I quicken my gait to catch up with them and learn their story. Melissa is from Peru and had been praying about becoming a nun, asking for God to give her a sign. When she traveled to Spain with her family to visit relatives she received her answer. She met Jorge and knew that the convent was not in her future. They’ve been married four years now.
