Lurking in the back of my mind for years now is the Camino de Santiago. While there are many routes, the camino frances is the most popular. About 500 miles from St Jean Pied De Port in France to Santiago de Compostela in Spain. Neighbors Kirk and Holly walked this route last summer and did a presentation at the clubhouse last month. This reignited my interest. This evening I went to a Shell Ceremony at St Ignatius.
Those planning to walk one of the caminos in the next year received their shell, something they will carry with them on their trip.
The person who sat next to me was leaving in 5 days and brought her guide books along. 
A few people shared their “trail angel” stories and Kirk played the guitar and sang.
