A Special Camino This Year
By CAROLYN AFFLECK
On May 1st, Derek and I received an email from a Peace Walker Society member, who reminded us of our pilgrimage together several years ago. Her words conjured up vivid memories of our journey: moments of wonder, frustration, despair and sheer elation. We felt so honoured to have retained such a loving connection to each other through the passing of time. Her words rang especially true this day, as we read them while sitting at a café table in Villafranca del Bierzo.
It was no coincidence that we read this email from the Camino. After leading our last group in 2006, we felt such a rewarding sense of completion that we couldn't have imagined any reason for returning. But here we were again; destiny had pulled us back for a different kind of pilgrimage: our wedding.
