Camino Photo of the Day: in Memoriam
All along the Camino you can find memorials for pilgrims who died on the Way. I’ve posted several on this blog over the years that this series has been going. This one is on the approach to Melide.
Date: 30 April 2016

Maps of the Day:
The strangest thing, Thom. I dreamed I was on a pilgrimage with you, though it was not the Camino. It was to a very old site which once had a castle/fortress nearby, and the way was up a steep green hill. There was a sacred well there.
I don’t know if I will ever manage a proper pilgrimage, I don’t know if I will ever have the prerequisite faith. But your recountings are very inspirational.
Interesting! I wonder where it could be?
One need not have faith to begin a pilgrimage. Part of the pilgrimage process is the discovery or deepening of faith. We met many, many people who started out as hikers, or even as tourists. Given enough time, all were pilgrims by the time we reached Santiago.
