Made It!




...and every step was by God´s grace. We are in santiago, arrived yesterday morning after a short walk (5k). It has been good to catch up and reunite with a few other pilgrims, sleep in, and not be so hungry! We have had a chance to reflect on the camino, but it will be a while before it all starts to sink in and take root.


I think that we apprecaite the simple things more now: food, rest, privacy, band aids, companionship, each other, home. We talk a lot about how we miss Berean, our home church, and the people there.


I have put some new pictures of Galicia on the webalbum. It is much greener here for two reasons, number one is rain (it poured on us for 4 hrs two days ago) and reason number two is.... number two. this can be a smelly place.


We miss you all and hope to see you soon.

Hooray! Glad you made it.

Remember, it's ok to leave something for the driver.

I can't believe you're finished! I thought you had a few more days to go. Congratulations!

Happy Birthday to Andrew.

Patrick, you look really odd with facial hair.

Ivy, did you know there's a picture of you looking at your toe jam on the internet?
