Saw this today. I read the news from Galicia every morning.

The article describes a cousin of Denise Thiem (who was murdered in 2015 while walking the Camino) sending a donation of masks to Spanish law enforcement who investigated and solved her case. He lives in Hong Kong and read about the difficulties in Spain and spent money and effort to get these masks to the people who helped with the case. A kind gesture in this turbulent time.

Janet, thanks so much for this notice, and you might have seen another one from @natefaith. I can't believe that was five years ago. Such a beautiful young woman. All the best to you and Phil, hope you are both keeping well.

We are well. Staying home and taking care of each other. Although it has been 5 years Denise's story has not been forgotten. We need some positive news in these trying times even if it is a reminder of another tragedy.
