We met two American resident doctors enjoying a free trip thanks to her
journalist mother; a Spanish speaker whose group was working on completing the
full circuit (approximately 9 days of hiking and true camping); and Ecuadorian
single traveler who was looking for a friend in Martin all in the first two
days.
At Domo Frances we shared our Dome and dinner with a German couple who
Martin decided were officially un-German upon discovering they were taking a
nap, but then re-embraced as countrymen when we woke up at 6:30 the next
morning to find them already gone; a single Polish, Canadian who had over-packed
and was looking to get rid of some items…when saying good-bye, I made the
mistake of “wishing her luck at losing some of her extra weight” which of
course Martin pointed out as being rude; two Americans from St Louis who loved
to hike and were experiencing their lifelong dream of hiking the W trail and a
Brazilian couple, avid climbers who looked and acted every bit in love and were
a joy during dinner (if not only for the looks of delight on the husband’s face
with each bit of food).
And quite possibly our favorite, our Australian friends, who we didn’t
officially meet but kept passing along on the trail on various sections of the
hike.
