Camino de Santiago: Camino Frances: Part Six

In October 2011 I completed a pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostella in Spain, following the ancient path called the Camino Frances.  My journey took approximately 36 days with rest days along the way.  I will attempt, through a few humorous blogs and photographs to convey the spirit and beauty of this incredible route, without dwelling on the spiritual aspect of the walk

The final part of my journey is described in Part Six as I walk triumphantly into Santiago.  Even the rain didn’t dampen my spirits.  It can also be read by clicking on the Trips tab above.
