A Huge, Enormous, Great Big Thank You!

 Posted by LP

I had a wonderful time - I am very grateful for the opportunity to travel and see the world, and walking the Camino is an excellent way to see the world…we are all the same on the Camino, all with the goal to walk (and find sustenance and accommodation along the way) - there is no vehicle or barrier of any kind, so you feel (especially on the feet!), see, hear and smell the world!

My sincere thanks to everyone who made this adventure possible, my lovely spouse GJA; my supreme Camino companion VQT; my loyal family and friends who offered support and encouragement; the new friends I met along the way and anyone who showed the slightest interest…..I appreciate you all 💚💚💚

    I can’t imagine a better subject, a green door, to cap your journey.
    Thank you for sharing. I enjoyed the photos and days summary. You captured the spirit of your pilgrimage beautifully and I felt I was there (although my feet weren’t sore).
    Congratulations and safe travels home!

    Congratulations again to both of you. It’s a great way to see a country or two. And the photos are spectacular. Particularly the coast

Departure Day

 Map showing the Camino routes.   We will be walking part of Norte starting just to the left of Santander (route at top shown in red).  Just under the word Norte we will take the Primitivo route (shown as a light purple color) into Santiago de Compostela.  Our calculations show we will walk approximately 300 miles.   Today (Friday) we fly to Madrid arriving Saturday morning.  From Madrid we take a train for approximately 4 hours to Santander.  From there we’ll get a taxi to Santillana Del Mar where we will stay overnight.  On Sunday we start our walk    “We should all be grateful for the beauty of this world, but more, we should take the trouble to get off the bus of life and put the soles of our feet to the soul of the world and see those sacred sites with our own eyes”. Irish Poet.     Travel safely, travel soulfully, travel gratefully… Buen Camino.
