Plans Change on the Camino...

 Last year I walked my first Camino.  I did the entire French Way and I was planning on attempting it again this year. At first I considered doing the Northern Route, so I decided to book a flight to Bilbao, Spain and then plan the details later.  Well, my plans for 2024 changed...

I decided to take some time with Cindy and family before and after my planned walk.  As it stands now, I will officially start my second Camino in Leon, Spain on June 4th.  My bag is packed and I have my credentials.  My first stamp is from Bilbao, the second from Zaragoza and then I will get one from Barcelona. I've registered with the Pilgrim Office and will get my registration stamp in Leon.

Until then, I will be enjoying Spain and meeting pilgrims along the way.  Stay tuned for daily updates starting on June 4th.

I choose love. I choose joy.  I choose peace. I choose patience. I choose kindness. I choose goodness. I choose faithfulness. I choose gentleness. I choose self-control. Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, fa...

Well, at 11:30-ish I walked into the square in front of the Santiago de Compostela Cathedral for my second time.  The feeling was just as amazing as the first time! I will follow up with some more thoughts later and a final short video of my trip, but the real highlight today was accomplishing this amazing journey with some fantastic people.   Thank you, fellow pilgrims, for spending time walking and talking with me.  We didn’t solve all the world’s problems, but we sure tried…   Buen Camino!         14.69 miles 29,840 steps   Location:   Santiago de Compostela @ 42.88049, -8.54575
