Friends of the road:

Olivia and Richard Giles: They are posing with a pilgrim in 2001 standing in front of Santiago's Cathedral. Heather and I met up with them  walking their 2nd Camino de Santiago 2003. Nothing quite describes the emotion one feels when climbing those steps to the main entrance the first time and you come face to face with 1188 Portico de la Gloria or when you place your hand in/on the Tree of Jesse under the statue of St James while reflecting on how many hands it must have taken to wear the stone into this shape.

Olga Dickie: The popular start Point in France is St-Jean-Pied-de-Port, on the other side of the Pyrenees from Spain. We both turned "50" in 2003 on the road to Santiago. Cheers!! To the good times…
