Thanks for sharing the exciting news!
We who will follow this journey will be unseen digital companions for Johnnie and Stephen

May all stay safe.
Bon chemin, Buen camino and, in the truest sense, Ultreia.

Irish Blessing to you and yours Johnnie

May the road rise to meet you
May the wind be at your back
May the sun shine warm upon your face
May the rain fall softly on your fields

 

[Lexicos]

Great. I look forward to following you. I wish you all the best on your journey....

I should have been travelling to Pamplona this coming Tuesday! Never mind, will be praying and following you all along the way.

 

[VNwalking]

All blessings and buen camino!

It’s a little unclear what’s going on to me, though. That blog post is dated June 3, more than two months ago and they talk about going in the next few weeks. So if I was to only see that blog post I would’ve assumed they abandoned the project. There’s no update at all over 2 1/2 months? Wishing everyone well, but it seems very confusing. The blog post might’ve benefited from some start dates.

Maybe mods can combine them and make just one.

OK, I found it now. It was just a problem where links initially took me, but it’s clear now. Thanks.

Well, I for one am jealous!
[sarcasm alert] What a selfless, altruistic thing for Johnnywalker to do for us, walking the Camino on our behalves! I hope he does it again next year so I don't have to..... To raise money to help them with their trip, I am going to eat Chocolate Cake for Charity for the next month. [/sarcasm alert]

Just kidding and I am looking forward to your blog!

Just completed Camino Frances had great time. I will say this, In the times we are all in, It was a great time to walk the Camino. So glad I didn't delay.

 

[chinacat]

Thank you, little Sancho and Stephen Quixote, and all who have been a part of this deed: your so very thoughtful and generous undertaking on behalf of us ... we who cannot walk this year, for whatever reason.
Thank you for holding us, our thoughts and prayers, and our hopes for peace, in your hearts.
It has been a joy and a gift to have been able to accompany you ...

Ultreia!

... and warm wishes for Michaelmas!

As this hard year draws to a close, Johnnie and Stephen invite you to pour a drink, turn up the sound and enjoy Christmas, 2020 in Santiago.​
