Belief Systems
Not to step on anyone’s belief system, but part and parcel of walking The Way is to reach the burial-place of Saint James. (And this might be a good place to add that if you are thinking of a religious … Continue reading
“cause I can’t stay long”

West From Pamplona
After some debate (already we have lost track of time), we have decided that it is… Saturday… I think… What I do know is that we are in Pamplona on this our third day. Crossing the Pyrenees promised to be a … Continue reading
Balance in All Things
Balance. We are told to live a life of balance, but you may have noticed… finding that balance is harder said than done. We arrived in Paris by Eurostar. It is surprising how you get used to travel at 180 … Continue reading
