    My Pilgrim Blessing

    Thank you for the idea of bringing something home. I certainly will be talking at Church about the Camino but I hadn't thought of bringing something physical home. As you say, "something perfect will present itself". As a Church we are not at all wealthy in monetary terms. We rent a hall and...
