And So There We Are

And that's it and it's over and done with and we are on our way back home after an adventure that already seems to have happened long ago. And here we are at the airport waiting to go back to the good ol' US of A. 

Joyce and I reminisce about our favorite parts of the journey and we agree that oddly enough we actually like the first part the best, and that was the hardest part. But we were the freshest then and it was the most rewarding and inspiring and interesting. And it was the part where we proved ourselves by meeting the challenges. 

We somewhat recovered in the Parador. The Parador in Santiago de Compostela was originally a hostel/hospital (like the one in León) founded and paid for from their own funds by Isabella and Fernando in the late 1400s after they discovered there was no where that sick pilgrims could recover and that many actually died on the floor of the Cathedral after their journey. 

When we get back home, we'll be telling stories about how it went and what happened and the whole experience will become part of our greater story.  But the refrain remains: "Buen Camino" everyone!!!
