She knows she was saved for a reason
And she is still looking for it
This was probably the third or fourth time I see her come in, pick up her drink, and walk out. Always loud. Always colorful; by what she wears and by the color of her hair. I’ve witnessed black, red, silver, long, short, and a lot in between. And that’s only in about 3 month’s time.
The woman of extremes walks in one day with another gentleman. They sit at the next table and she strikes a conversation. Within 60 seconds, she asked: “You must have walked the Camino (de Santiago). Haven’t you?”
“Yes!” I got all excited. We talked and became friends.
The hiker
Gino walked the Camino, wrote a book about it, and never stopped hiking since. In Lebanon, she’s active with The Lebanon Mountain Trail, Born2hike, Lebanon Outdoor Adventure, and the Lebanese Adventure Trails. The outdoors is home to her. She loves smelling nature, observing the wildlife, taking selfies, and standing still in a minus 6 Celcius weather to listen to the snowflakes crush under hikers’ boots.
