April 2024 - Santiago de Compostela, church of Saint Francis
In the photo of the altar dedicated to the merciful Sacred Heart, note the tiny white rectangle on the left hand side of the altar. How many times as we pilgrims wandered along the...
Camino Frances
towards Sansol
photo taken October 27, 2012
On route to Sansol a bit of a rainbow lit the western horizon as the mid-day sky began to clear. The air had definitely turned colder; I was glad to have my woolies!
I'm currently in Melinda, but I got to witness an incredible show last week while in El Acebo.

We were feeling a bit worse for wear upon leaving this morning after a...

Also, I believe the volunteer church tours are organized by...
