My bags are packed....

After weeks of preparation and with my backpack loaded after a couple of re-packings, I am set to go.  I have laced up my boots, checked final details and prepare to take the first steps towards walking the Camino, the pilgrimage route of approximately 800 kms.  Destination - Santiago de Compostela.  Here lie the bones of St. James the Apostle but many taking this route have no belief in saints, church or even God.  Maybe I will discover what compels us all to take this journey.

  2. Sweet Chris-I lit a candle yesterday (11th) at about the time I thought you were taking off. Now you are on "terra firma" Spain (I knew that Catholic Latin would come in handy one day!). I am walking hip to hip with you each day and smiling at your "ballsy Brit self"!!! Morgana
