We had a hard time, but Dieter, you can imagine, was really sweating and panting at points as he dragged his cart through the mess. We finally found a place we could talk&#8211;a place we were both very tired at the same time. Turns out he is pulling his cart because he broke his back in four places and had to lie in a hospital bed for a year. We asked his motivation for walking the Camino. \u00a0He said, &#8220;When I was in that bed I prayed that I would be able to walk the Camino.&#8221; And there he was, walking. When we reached the top of the rise, he asked if he could interview us. He said he was making a short movie for all the people in the hospital who had taken care of him. Last we saw him, he was boarding a bus for Bilbao &#8220;because,&#8221; he said pointing to his \u00a0contour map, &#8220;I can&#8217;t make it over that mountain there.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Buen Caminos&#8221; all around.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We met Dieter, a pilgrim from Austria today.
