Michael called to say he had made it to Hontanas. He should be in Leon within six days, and since the terrain is fairly flat here, his old man knees shouldn’t give him trouble. He’s hoping to take a rest day in Leon, and hope he can dry out some clothes – it’s been raining steadily.

Hello Sandy and Michael. I don’t know you, but I would love to meet both of you when Michael returns. I am from Winnipeg also, and just got back on May 9 from doing the Camino: Roncesvalles to Finisterra. It would be great to exchange stories. I also heard rumour while I was on the Camino about a Winnipeg couple: Bill and Gail who were doing it at the same time, but we never had the chance to meet. I’ll contact the Canadian Co. of Pilgrims to see if I can get their e-mail. My e-mail address is leepen@mts.net
