The love of strangers

We stayed 4 days at Vila Praia de Ancora. Just to stay on the Camino. Abbas was surfing twice a day and we thought we'd extend our stay by another 2 days. But the hostel got booked up and we had to stick to our original plan to go to Porto and chill at the Dentro Mar farm until our flight back home.

We shared our dormitory with Desirez and Ben from Austria. And as we got acquainted and talked about our plans they immediately offered us a ride to Porto in their car!  Honestly, I was truly swept away and deeply touched by their generosity. My son was moved too. Even as we told them the address where we were going, (it would take them off their course by half an hour) they held on to their stake to get us there.

We sat in their cute little car and sped off to Porto, I felt time slow down. I've got to say, this ride is one I'll never forget. I was feeling both regal in being blessed and humbled in receiving such pure love. 

The beauty of this connection is that we introduced them to this gorgeous farm and the owners Joanna and Jose and now Desirez and Ben have new friends too! Oh! And a place in Porto to come and relax at whenever they need.
