On our way to temple 27 we were stopped by a very interesting person: a Japanese old man who has done the pilgrimage by car already multiple times and on his way of doing so he ‘collects’ pilgrims. Yes, collects 😎 He proudly showed us his notebook which stated that he had already met 1832 German pilgrims (No numbers for Brazil unfortunately 😵‍💫). In another notebook he showed us texts and photos of other German pilgrims he met and asked us if we can write something too ✍️ Of course we did! After marking my hometown Bocholt (I am apparently the first Bocholter on this pilgrimage!?) he took a picture of us with his flip phone and peeled us some oranges 🍊What a lovely osettai ! 😍
