Good to hear from you Ivar and to get your update. Slowly getting there. Let’s hope all goes well. Nice to hear the bagpipe player in the background.

So good to see this short update as of June 15...in Santiago. It looks quite pilgrim free as you ‘skoot’ all over town in ‘quick-time’
A good bench-mark !

Safe travels to anyone venturing on camino soon.

Thanks for these updates Ivar. I’m sure they’ll start to look busier in July.
