Welcome Friends

Welcome to our preparation blog!

We have decided to take five weeks this spring to walk the ancient pilgrimage route, the Camino de Santiago. We would love your wisdom, encouragement, good wishes, and blessings as we prepare mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually for this time.

We will periodically add notes and lists and questions and things to this site. Perhaps you will do the same. Here's hoping!

    Hello,
    I was introduced to your blog through a mutual friend (Ann Linnea). I have been reading "Camino blogs" for over a year now and will enjoy following yours. When you pass through Moratinos be sure to stop and visit/stay with Rebekah and Paddy at "The Peaceable," a guest house they live in and run. I suggest a hot-off-the-presses book: Powerful Places On The Caminos De Santiago by Gary White, Elyn Aviva
    It is available through Barnesandnoble.com and introduces some spirit-energy filled stops along the Camino.
    Buen Camino!
