That’s it for now I’m flying home Thursday,

I plan to do an epilogue in a week or so but then again I may not.

However, anyone wanting to do a Camino and wants to know anything about it then i am more than happy to discuss and advise as needed.

If you have an inclination that you want to then do it and do it soon. This is a fabulous experience, and you meet some fabulous people.

Buen Caminos!
