We did it! Not all of it, mind you, but enough of the Camino to make us officially considered having DONE the pilgrimage.
The kids were fantastic, with their backpacks on, waking up at 5am and walking long distances. One day they walked 17 kms, most of which was up a mountain, and they did it without being helped by us. Even 5 year old Hannah walked without help. Tamara had to be carried and pushed in a special stroller/backpack, but then she is just 15 months old and cant walk yet. Although she made her first steps on this wonderful Spanish trail.
lots of memories and moments but very few pictures. I will try and get some developed soon and posted here. Thanks for your prayers and cheers. We were able to meet some great people, pray for those who requested prayer, talk to people who want to start more hostels and monastic resting places for the increasing number of pilgrims.
some of the team are still going on the trail - go Jessica! - but we are done - the kids needed a break, and i needed to get the administration going again so are family are in england, staying with friends in the south.
More soon.
