I would like to thank every pilgrim for their love, support, and most importantly the generosity. My 35 days of walking from St. Jean to Santiago to Fisterra and Muxia was everything I hoped for.

Thank you St. James for helping me understand the need to spend time in nature, fellowship, and prayer.

May my camino never end and the journeys always be present.

My email is rayatctommy@yahoo.com and I would enjoy you to check out my music site at http://www.reverbnation.com. Look up Tommy L. Ray from Palm Harbor, FL.

May all be blessed with safety, love, and generosity.

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.
The Spirit of the Camino calls to those it chooses. We hear the call and some leave immediately to begin their pilgrimage. Others hear and plan fastidiously to begin their Camino in the coming year. Still others hear the call and plan, but it takes time until the day arrives. Regardless of when we respond to the haunting call of St. James the Camino waits for us. Each step of each pilgrim serves as the steady strumming of heart strings that embrace each pilgrim and still calls to others to join the Way.

Thank you for thinking of others. Once having chosen to go on Camino your pilgrimage began and it never stops. This life is a pilgrimage for we are but strangers here. Our Master calls and we must answer. May each step you take into the future bring you closer to He who knocks constantly on our heart's door for entry. May his Peace envelope you and sustain you through both the good times and the times when the way is too lonely, too hard, and weights heavily on our narrow shoulders.
 
The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.
Arrived in Santiago on October 30th, attended Pilgrim's Mass on All Saints Day as I had planned.
Am just now home safe and sound to the East Coast U.S. where all loved ones are safe and sound after
the big storm. We are blessed.

St. James, you called and we came, and you helped us every step of the Way, and your loving guidance will always be with us.

Michael, thank you for your beautiful post here; it is most eloquent.

Now is the time to start planning on doing the Le Puy part, totally diferent experience. Or do it all again. I did it twice. It took me one year to start having that itch to do it again and I would do it again if I am able to, but one must work...
