Anniversary

Today marks the anniversary of the day last year that we walked into Santago de Compostela, a fitting end to what I now know to have been a very important event in my life.

I celebrate that with three friends that I met last year who are back on the Camino right now. The Professors, Steve and Chris are back in Santiago today on their way to Finisterre. I hope they enjoy that place as much as I did.

Another friend, the last Camino friend that I met while in Finisterre last year is my friend Katja. She started her Camino this year in Santander where she spent about a week walking the Camino del Norte before joining the Camino Primativo (the original route). She just emailed me to let me know that she’s now in Galicia and probably a week out of Santiago. Katja is the Camino Beast. She also has excellent taste in shirts.

I wish I were there with them!
