Pilgrim and Hospitalero

[Brett]

Saludos, everyone--

My name is Brett and I walked the Camino in May/June 2005. I'll be returning this summer as a hospitalero in Viana (Aug. 1-15) and Najera (Aug. 15-31). Just found out about this website and it looks great.

I'm also working on putting together an anthology of Camino stories/photos/art and will post the call for submissions soon. If you have a suggestion of where to post it, please let me know!

I'll be in Spain until 9/19, on the Camino in September either as a pilgrim or as a hospitalero...somewhere!

Brett

Hi Brett,
I'm Brendan and if you are who I think you are you come from New York State and we met on the Camino in 2005. You wrote a poem for me when I had walked 2000 kms.
I won't write more at the moment, will wait for your confirmation of identity.
Brendan
