Happy 10 Year Aniversary!

Near the end of my June tour, as I was approaching Santiago, I realized that I was celebrating my 10 year aniversary on the Camino de Santiago!  It has been a wonderful decade – walking the trail, meeting wonderful people from around the globe and becoming friends with the locals.

Over the years, I’ve seen how a local farmer would start by selling water and Coca-colas’from his garage, only to return the next year and find him making salads and sandwiches, a couple of years later, he had turned his cowshed into a small albergue.  Nowadays, many pilgrims have enjoyed his pleasant hospitality and have had a wonderful place to rest, share their stories and create new ones!

The Camino de Santiago, the more things change…

Buen Camino!
