A different community - April 28th-29th

It is really something to meet so many different people, from so many countries, and with many varied beliefs. But still, we have the Camino in common;  we do this journey together. Most everyone is willing to share their Camino story and almost always much, much more. All topics are possible and you can go deep as well.

As we walk, you have the chance to walk by yourself or with others (they can be "old" friends or new ones), fast or slow,  or talk or be quiet.  We are not in a race (millions of pilgrims have reached Santiago before us and we will not be the last). We have time to smell the roses. One of the recent mornings, Kristina and I had the opportunity to watch a stork fly in with its massive wingspan and first glide down then up to a tall smoke stack, then it ever so lightly landed on its nest. Just stunning! No need to take a picture or video, but watch and enjoy.

Buen Camino!
