Camino Day 5. I count today - 158km of walking in the last 5 days! I have been reflecting on the history of the walk and what it has meant for the millions who have walked this before. The best part is the fun, laughter & sharing of oneself with the Camino family! www.justgiving.com/campaign/cam...
