Post script

The latest now is that there have been more than 100,000 views of this blog, who knew, and it must be accidental that so many people have chanced on this. On the other hand Joyce and I are constantly running into people who know about the Camino. It's always coincidental, but then again maybe not. Our local and favorite book store has just put out an email featuring a list of books about walking and how this offers opportunities to relax, recharge, reflect, renew energy and so on. It's ancient and yet contemporary. I remember reading stories as a kid where the main character would throw a knapsack over his shoulder and set off to see the world. And now there's a book out about a grandma who decided to walk the 2000 mile Appalachian Trail with a gunny sack slung over her shoulder. What goes around comes around. For sure we have finished the Camino, but we haven't stopped walking.
