A Walk in My Shoes

 

Those are brass shoes with a lily draped
over the top. Someone took the time
to create a very fitting tribute.
We are now within a couple of days of Santiago, so we are pretty pleased with ourselves. Today's highlight was being approached by a documentary film maker and asked to be interviewed for their film. Jerry gave a very eloquent statement about our reasons for walking the Camino so maybe we will see him on the big screen. We stopped at this very touching monument to Guillermo Watt who was a pilgrim who died on this spot only days away from his destination. We also saw a pilgrim in full dress including sandals coming from Santiago. We tend to forget that the pilgrims had to walk from their home to Santiago and walk back. We respected his wish not to be photographed.

  1. How exciting that you are just a few days away from completing this journey. I am a little surprised Jerry could behave himself long enough to give a straight interview. I really hope we can find a way to see it !

  2. Can't wait to get there. But as you near the end seems sad.
