For years I have dreamed of walking the Camino de Santiago de Compostela.

When I turned 40, I thought that perhaps putting it off was not the wisest of decisions.

So, emboldened by cerveza, I decided on the spot to try the walk the year I turn 45. This was then moved up two years to 43.

So, I left my home on April 26th, 2008 to walk the Camino. I succeeded, for the most part, and arrived in Santiago de Compestela on May 27, 2008. I then took the bus to Finisterre as I wanted to see the end of the earth. I then took the train down to join my wife Sandy and my two sons Keiran and Aleksander for our travels in Spain. 9 days later we flew to Germany and then finally on July 17th, 2008 we flew back to Canada.

This blog is to track my Camino travels and our family travels in southern Spain (Andalusia) and Germany. We hope you enjoy you stop here and perhaps leave you with a bit of inspiration.

Buen Camino,
Michael Schumann
