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!

Santiago

We made it.

Diane arrived mid day with sore feet and high spirits to meet me at the Porto de Camino. Together we walked in to the Cathedral which felt like a good way to draw to an end the walking part of this experience. It is impossible to find the words to describe the place. Just big big huge.

There is much to explore and enjoy.

Tonight though is a time to rest; tomorrow Pilgrim´s mass at the Cathedral.

The Camino continues...

  3. Fantastic!!! Soak those feet, remember every second of this experience. Similar to childbirth, all the pain is so worth the end result. You hold that Santiago in your arms, smile into it's face and embrace the love for a lifetime.
    So proud of you both,
    Love Shelley
