Buen Camino to you both.
It seems I am two days ahead of tyou.

Hey Louiset,
Leaving California (LAX) on May 08. Arriving SJPDP on May 10 & leaving SJPDP on May 12th.
God Willing, Arriving in Santiago de Compostela + 30 days thereafter.
Hey Wayfarer,
May the Road rise up to meet you on you when next you make the Camino.
I'll take a stone for you (from here in California) and place it at the Cruz de Ferro this May.
