I waited 15 years to do this. I retired in 2020 and was supposed to start, but.....C O V I D. Then I needed a knee replacement. Finally, I just said, "I have to just go or it'll never happen". I bought my airfare that day!
My husband was supposed to accompany me, but after RVing full-time together for 2 years, I resolved to leave him home. LOL
He's a 'hurry-up-and-get-there' person and I'm the total opposite. For me, it's about the journey, not the destination. So I walked alone from SJPdP to Santiago.
I got my Compostela in Santiago on 2, OCT 2023.

"Until we extend our circle of compassion to all living things, humanity will not find peace." ~Dr. Albert Schweitzer.
"Until we have the courage to recognize cruelty for what it is -- whether its victim is human or animal -- we cannot expect things to be much better in this world." ~R. Carson
