    LIVE from the Camino 22 Apr 15 -- Rain All Day -- Miracle - After 15 Years, Woke Up With Bed Hair!

    Oh! Thank you for sharing these posts! I am filled with joy and nostalgia! I finished my first Camino in September, also having completed the Camino Frances. I remember sitting in a cafe in Sarria around 10 am (I had woken up pre-dawn to get into town early that day) completely exhausted-...
