VoyageurThe expression "discretion is the better part of valor" was made for situations like this. Good call, son.
VoyageurPhil, you have accomplished so much and be so proud of yourself! I am glad to see that you are okay in your mind with how the trek has panned out. I am very much proud of you and all that you’ve done. I think I can speak for all the girls when I say we miss your “Phil-isms” and can’t wait to see you back at work!

VoyageurSounds like an interesting evening. I'd love to hear what the political science majors' thoughts were on the subject. ☺
VoyageurI found that music helps me too, when my feet start hurting- that or a good conversation with a fellow walker. I really love the intercultural opportunities of the Camino. You look at someone and have no idea what language will come out of their mouth until you say “hola” or “hello”. The common goal of walking to Santiago gives room for listening to other people’s stories in a special way. Thanks for all your posts, Phil!
VoyageurGreat pics Phil. Live the commentary! Keep em comin! My sites are on your lawn
VoyageurLove the pictures, Phil. Hope today is great.
