I reunited with Mom this morning … I had just left Leon and was walking joyfully into the day, thinking that I could maybe catch up to her in a few days, when I heard her calling to me from above. Quite the bizarre feeling, that, let me assure you!

Anyway, she had stopped yesterday at a hotel just outside of Leon and felt that she would simply wait for me to flow past. It really is a minor miracle that she saw me, as we were in a pretty busy section of town, with lots of folks milling about, and if she hadn’t been looking for me at that moment, I would have walked right past her.

Of course, as anyone who has walked the Camino can attest, the Way is connected by a loosely forged chain of such “minor miracles” … 😉
