Finishing our volunteer stint in SdC

Our second week volunteering at the pilgrims office went by quickly, all too quickly. Every day we walked or bussed the 3 km to the Pilgrims office, then worked nonstop for five hours, then found something to eat, and either walked or bussed back. We often had communal dinners together with the other volunteers at the Albergue where we were staying, and we got to know several outstanding Volunteers from many different countries. We also met and heard such interesting stories from pilgrims from all over the world. And we even got to stamp the credentials of two pilgrims, who turned out to be friends of my sister, Connie Johnmeyer ! This is definitely a volunteer stint that I’d be willing to do again.

Now we are off to visit with our special Camino Friends, and then to start our own Camino for this year.Read more
