Interesting pilgrims along the way spice to the trip in Spain

On February 2, 2021February 9, 2021 By admin

As we move near Santiago, the path becomes increasingly crowded with pilgrims. Today we were joined by a group of approximately 12 from Vashon Island in the Seattle area. They are all members of a walking club and they signed up for a guided hike on the Camino, led by the author of Pilgrim's Stories, by one Nancy Frey. Jack had read her book prior to the trip. The stories were collected for her doctoral dissertation. Thereafter, she met a Spanish man, they were married, and settled here in Spain, and offer tours. I hesitate to guess what this group is paying for her services and the convenience of having their gear transported from town to town.
