The camino

Before walking the northern route of the Camino de Santiago, I thought I knew what to expect. As it turns out, my journey was filled with surprises.

Located in northwest Spain, Santiago de Compostela is the final stop for pilgrims coming from all directions of the Camino de Santiago way and those who want to visit the tomb of the Apostle James.

I didn't realize what an education it would be. It's just one of the many surprises - learning things about yourself while walking the Camino de Santiago. We still have a long way to go.
