ResenärThe food looks amazing!! I'm so confused, though. How does your family start at the same place, end at the same place, but not walk together. Seems like you'd all be on the same path. Guess I'll just have to keep pondering this. 😉
C. WhettenRight, Connie, everyone is on the same path, and they must have agreed on where to meet at the end of the day, but some folks move faster than others at different times of the day.

Hi, Kathy. Been following your trek and enjoying your photos. Looks like you're in the home stretch. Hang in there! Tom Hogan.
C. WhettenA month ago this morning, we were watching for our backpacks coming off the plane in Biarritz. You've gone a long ways sense then. You've met a lot of fun people and probably a few that are not so nice. You've had a lot of great experiences and a few that were not so fun, like watching your hiking pole drop into the river. Thanks for sharing your friendship and experiences on the trail (good and bad) with us.
Hi Kathy - I've been thinking about you - just took a few minutes to look through some of your pictures. It looks like this trip has has probably been all you hoped for - I can see you have experienced many beautiful places and many smiling faces. You will carry these memories in your heart forever. SallyK.

What a classic picture: the 0.00 km marker, the shell symbol, the ocean and the rainbow all together. Great shot!
Dear Kathy Thank you for sending me this site. I lived every moment of your pilgrimage in my heart. What a blessing to have been able to take this journey. I sense Michael was with you every step you took. He treasured your friendship so very much, luv Carole
