A husband and wife on Camino strike up an enduring friendship with a Spanish couple, Paco and Flo, who love to laugh, live in the moment, and understand that sometimes it makes sense to “get in the motor home” to get from point A to point B on the Camino.

When a couple is awakened in the middle of the night to find the parsonage-turned-pilgrim shelter where they are the sole guests ablaze, a church member who lives next door provides them refuge.

A man’s experiences of the help he offered and received on Camino remind him of the advice Fred Rogers famously received from his mother: In times of chaos or struggle, look for the helpers, for they are all around us.

Having avoided a disruptive group of pilgrims at every turn, a woman stopping to care for an angry blister on her foot comes to the aid of a group member who is suffering heat exhaustion. In response, others in the group tend to her blister. In this moment, she experiences what the Apostle Paul called “new creation,” when strangers welcome each other through mutual care.

Under a drenching rain, a woman walks upon the scene of a man who has fallen on the Camino. He is surrounded by a group of pilgrims who have come to his aid. Others having attended to his physical needs, one pilgrim does what’s left to do: sit silently and hold his hand. As she stands in her wet boots, the woman takes in this extraordinary scene, this landscape of kindness.
