Follow My Journey
The Camino de Santiago is a 500-mile pilgrimage route across Spain. Follow along as I blog about my journey – both as I prepare (until April 2019) and walk (April – May, 2019)
Thanks and “besitos”
My Camino would not have been the Camino it was were it not for the encouragement, support, and "presence" of so many people. YOU are one of them and whether you are mentioned specifically below or whether you can read yourself in between the lines, know that I am...
