- Past: Le Puy to Finnesterre, 2013
In the months of May through July, 2013, I walked the Camino from Le Puy en Velay to Finnesterre. My overall plan included having my wife and one of my daughters meet me in Sarria and walk the last 5 days into Santiago with them. They remained in Santiago while I walked on to Finnesterre. It was a thoroughly memorable 70 days for me, and my goal to return has finally been met with the opportunity this year to make it happen again. It has always been my hope that at least one of my twelve grandchildren would want to walk with me, and that also has come to fruition. We plan to start from Le Puy on 2 June, after spending our arrival day of 1 June exploring that wonderful city. Due to time restraints on my granddaughter's part, we will have to choose which portions of the total route to Santiago we will have to bypass. Our six weeks will allow us to cover the majority of the Way. I think we are equally excited about accepting this wonderful opportunity and challenge to complete this Pilgrimage. Bon Chemin and Buen Camino!! Hope to meet many of you on The Way.
