With apologies to Hape Kerkeling, I'm off then! Leaving this evening for Bilbao/Pamplona this evening and shutting down the computer. Classic Camino convolution, a Jewish pilgrim flying with Turkish Air in order to walk across northern Spain to a Christian cathedral to visit a Saint who was once Jewish himself. Couldn't possibly be better! Buen Camino!

Buen Camino Scruffy. If you recall, we communicated sometime ago about Johnny Manziel and Texas A&M football. Well the Aggies and the Tide play again in a little more than one week, while you will be on the Camino. I can safely say that the beat down that the Tide put on the Aggies last year did not set too well with the Aggies. In any case, have a safe journey, good weather, free of blisters and other ailments. I envy you. Would love to do it again.
 
Life is full of conundrums. Buen Camino

Happy Trails
