Good to find you here as well. I'm hoping to do the Norte next year starting in late May.
Papi7411 wrote on ivar's profile.
Hi Ivar. First let me sincerely thank you for the Herculean effort that you are putting into sharing the current status of the Camino. I am planning to do it again next year and I appreciate you keeping us appraised of the pandemic there. I have noticed quite a few people asking for stories about the Camino. I have one (1600 words) that I would like to share with fellow peregrinos. How can I best do this?
