This past April I arrived in Vezelay, bright eyed and all ready to set out. Walked over to the Mary Magdalene Center and in my very best pidgin French requested a Crendecial. The receptionist answered "Which one"? "The usual one", I replied. With great patience he explained to this confused pilgrim that two were available, one for Vezelay to Santiago and one Vezelay to Assisi. Conundrum time! Months of planning, recommendations, maps, everything in my pocket or to head south into the unknown. Common sense prevailed and I went west however my Camino obsession had been tweaked. Working on it now, it appears to be a real bootbuster – should anyone be intrigued start here:
