Camino Photo of the Day: Paradise Glimpsed
While Eamon and Petra surged ahead, propelled by youth and long legs, Patrick, Viola, and I struggled, exhorting and encouraging each other, occasionally shouting and swearing at the wind. When we crested the (almost) last hill and saw the town of Santo Domingo de la Calzada in the valley below us, we shouted and wept for joy.
It was, we decided, the most beautiful city ever built by human hands. The streets are paved with chorizo and jamon, the fountains flow with vino tinto and the river is surely cerveza. Angels sing of its wonders. If we could have danced for joy, we would have.
