October 26, 2016 - Mattapoisett, MA - Well, what a long strange trip it's been!
We've had a couple of weeks to "decompress" since Connie and I completed a 33 day, 500 mile (800 km) pilgrimage from St. Jean Pied de Port, France to Santiago de Compostella, Spain across central and northern Spain. Had a chance to think, ponder, reflect on many things, friends, family, past and future. Thought I'd provide a summary (tried to keep it to one image a day, but overshot as usual), of some of the experience. Here goes:
 |
| Sep. 10 - Crossing the Pyrenees, felt like Julie Andrews in Sound of Music |
 |
| Sep. 11 - A little more walking to do. |
 |
| Hiking from Roncesvalles |
|
 |
| Reward for our first three days! |
 |
| One of many cathedrals we'd visit - Pamplona |
|
 |
| The Pilgrim (Peregrino) Sculpture - Alto del Perdon |
 |
| Walking the Way, vineyards and hillside villages |
 |
| A Real Fountain of Wine! Bodega Irache |
 |
| Stork Nests at Los Arcos |
 |
| Just another beautiful village on a beautiful day |
 |
| Unbelievable cathedral at Burgos |
 |
| Hiking up into the clouds |
|
 |
| Memorials and inspiration along the Way |
 |
| A church ceremony at the Cathedral in Santo Domingo |
 |
| Our only live Stork siting! Burgos |
 |
| Approaching the magical town of Castrojeriz |
 |
| Inspiration along the Way |
 |
| And, another cathedral |
 |
| Bodega - Wine/root cellar dug into the hillside |
|
 |
| A reward at the end of a long day's walk. Day 17 - Ledigos, Spain |
