Starting in 2002, Carol and I began planning an ambitious trip, walking the 500 miles of the Camino de Santiago from St. Jean Pied de Port in France to Santiago de Compostela. Carol had read several books, Paulo Coelho from Brazil wrote "El Peregrino" (pilgrim) which she read in Spanish, as well as Shirley MacLaine's "The Camino." I'm up for any trip and we began some serious walking up to 15 miles on weekend days. Eventually, we added books and weight to backpacks to better get a feeling for what that would be like and to get in better shape. Since we were 63 years old we needed all the preparation we could get.
Events prevented us from going in 2003, but in 2004 we began our quest to do the 500 miles in 30 days. We met both goals and the letters below represent that journey.
