But would it fit in my backpack...?

Time of past OR future Camino

My colleagues at my university communications department honoured me with this custom cake on Friday at our staff meeting. I did not want to cut into such a beautiful gift, but finally relented (and ate the bottom half of the pilgrim on the right). I start my pilgrimage on April 5, buoyed by the enthusiasm and--dare I say it--love of my office mates.

Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

€46,-
The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.

Wow, indeed! You work in an extraordinary place. Or maybe you are extraordinary.;)
Maybe return the favor by bringing back something for your special colleagues from Santiago. There are plenty of places you can get packaged Torta de Santiago and all manner of other delicious sweets to share at home.

There's just about time to eat it! What a generous gift- how is that map done? Not a very long time with a fine icing bag I'm guessing . Have a great Camino.
 
Bring inflatable cake !!

Nothing like a good sugar rush to get you going :D. No sweat, if you start in St Jean you'll work it off the first day.
Buen Camino!
 
What a sweet masterpiece!
 
Let me message you my address for any leftovers that you don't want....I will throw myself on them and save you the calories.
I know. I know. Selfless Coleen saving a fellow pilgrim from carrying too much weigh.
sigh.
It's a burden I carry.
Try to pack it nicely because the postmaster down here is all thumbs.

You could be The Very Hungry Pilgrim and munch your way from SJPP westwards:

"In the light of the moon a little Pilgrim lay on a bunk bed . . "

(apologies to Eric Carle)
 
That's crazy! You certainly have some folks in your life that merit pondering while you walk.
