The train has pulled out of the Santiago de Compostela train station and in the distance I can see the blue waves of Galicia’s mountains rising up through the mists. My God, how they tug at me! It brings tears to my eyes! It is like leaving a beloved child. I will return one day, but that child will have changed; and I will change.
Before I can truly say goodbye to my Camino, I have to say thank you to each of you who followed along with me. I never needed an incentive to get up in the morning and start my daily trek. But I did need a reason for writing my posts each night. Thanks for sharing my adventure.

Chapeau Jimmy!! Awesome to see you’ve finished another Camino…..maybe Portugal next?

Hi Jim, I thoroughly enjoyed following your 2 nd Camino ..at the same time I was on a “ journey “ too biking the length of Korea and Japan ..our “ paths “ crossed “ while I was pedaling thru The island of Shikoku.. you had just met a Japanese pilgrim who told you of a similar pilgrimage in Japan , walking to the 80 or so Shinto Shrines on the island of Shikoku. At that time I had seen pilgrims doing the walk and had visited a number of the shrines! An arduous journey as the island is mountainous and heavily forested , and Shinto shrines are almost always placed in hard to reach , hilltops etc beautiful and natural settings .. really adding to the spiritual mood .. just wanted to share that with you ..Hi to Paula and you are so lucky w all those grand babies!
