Here we will have two minutes silence at 7:00 p.m. Spanish time tomorrow (Monday 29th) for the victims and families affected by the train derailment on the evening of the 24th. The funeral at the cathedral begins at that time. So many people have sent prayers and thoughts towards Compostela this last few days and I thought it would be a good gesture to try to not only remember those who have lost their lives, but also to send love and light energy and "prayers" to those many, many people whose lives have also been shattered by this terrible tragedy.
We will be five pilgrims: two from Melbourne, Australia, two from California, USA, one from Michigan, USA, and myself, and we will keep silence each in our own way.
Won´t you join us in your thoughts?

The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.

Yes, and thank you Tracey - we both will.

Also we see from the rtve.es news site that they it will be possible to watch the service 'en directo'

It'll be 5am here in NZ, so I'm bound to be keeping complete silence at that time. I'll join with the sentiment though, and observe the silence upon waking.
 
Rest in peace. Prayers also for the pilgrims killed in the coach crash in Italy
 
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.
