100/499 … over boulders within (09/25/08)
… my good Friend, Klaus from Germany.
Like many pilgrims I met, Klaus was walking The Way to rekindle a long-lost connection with the Divine. Interestingly, and quite impressively, Klaus had suffered a stroke in his past and had limited use of half of his limbs. Still, he persisted day by day on his Trek, and did indeed make it to Santiago, after walking some 500+ miles to do so.
Just as intriguing were the two Danish ladies behind Klaus. This picture was taken on one of their very first days on the Trail, and I later heard that one of them returned to Denmark the day after this photo was shot, feeling that the emotional toll of the Walk was simply too great to bear.
