Finished the VdlP a couple of days ago. Weather wise it was sunny and dry for almost the entire journey. We did have a week of cold foggy days, and we had two days with some scattered light showers and that was it. Now sitting in Santiago where today's temperature is forecasted to reach 65 F...
Have made it to Zamora. All is well. No surprises so far other than some memorable scenery. Pilgrim traffic has been light as would be expected at this time of year. We have had unusually fine weather since we started in early November. Now that I think about it, I guess that qualifies as a...

My wife, Robin, and I will be leaving for Seville on November 2nd. This was a sort of last minute decision, but the thought of spending Christmas in Santiago tipped the scale and so the deed is done. Tickets have been purchased and Camino gear is once again scattered about the house. It is...
