- Camino Frances: September 24 - October 31 (2015)
My father died this past Wednesday, September 16, 2015 at the age of 93. On Tuesday, I leave for my first Camino, setting out from SJPDP on September 24. For the longest time, I couldn't decide what to leave at Cruz de Ferro. In my Dad's last days it finally came to me. My Dad was a virtuoso clarinetist in his day. While he was many things to all of us, his amazing clarinet playing was the most striking way that he brought beauty into this world during his life. To honor my Dad's memory, I have decided to place a simple clarinet reed at the foot of the cross at Cruz de Ferro. I have included a photo of the reed that I will leave. In his way, my Dad will be making the journey with me.
