I've got news for you: Jesus didn't start in St Jean, Le Puy, or Rome for Santiago, either. Leaving Sarria towards Santiago.

I'm not numbering the posts by day anymore, mainly because I have no idea what day it is. How long have I been away from home now? I can't even remember. London and Saint Jean feel like a month ago, but I know that's not right. I keep telling myself "last week"... So I realize... Continue Reading →
