What a whirlwind! My time in Santiago was amazing, and, to be honest, a little overwhelming. I cannot believe how blessed I am to have made it to Santiago and to have completed my first Camino! The icing on the cake, of course, was the tremendous thrill to meet up with Bruce (on day one), Ann and Terry (on day 2), and Marian, Bernadette and Lyndall (on day 3). We all took different Ways to get to Santiago, but we were lucky enough to arrive around the same time. My accommodation in Santiago could not have been better (thanks to Jill for the second location), and every meal was delicious. Oh, and don't start me on the wine! I have so many things to be grateful for. A final shout out to Ann and Terry for putting us onto the Blessing from the Franciscans. I will treasure this document just as much as my certificate and stamped credential.Read more
TravelerCongratulations Camino on your Camino #1 where you experienced such wonderful Camino cameraderie and topping off with meeting up with some of your BMCS family. Your earlier VF of 60 days and 1220km is no mean feat, 👣 very different experiences. Well done you! x
