    Hello from Toronto!

    Hi Tara, I know how you are feeling. You are leaving 3 days ahead of me and I too am busy training here in Toronto for my walk on the Camino Frances. I hope it all goes well for you and that you manage to get out for a walk between the downpours here these days! Buen Camino! Bill
