Thanks to everyone

[Jotown]

I've just returned home from doing the Camino from Lourdes to Santiago de Compostela, via SJPP, from 11th September to 26th October - what a wonderful experience

The people I met - fellow pilgrims, locals ( French & Spanish),hospiteleros,church communities,business owners...everyone, without exception were everything I wanted and could have expected. The 'Way' is there for everyone, nobody should fear it, or think they couldn't do it - you can !

I was probably best known as 'Joe from Manchester, England ' not quite accurate but sufficient identification

So, if you were someone I met along the 'way'... Thank You with all my soul - as many along the way said... The Camino really starts as we all go home !!

I didn't know what other way to get my message across...
I think lot's of us on the Camino learnt how to simply hug each other in love,pain,sorrow, and delight !!
Gestures that aren't easily done in everyday life....
Now that I ( and others ...) can, watch out !
A very special lesson, and hugs to you too !
