Hi Pilgrim,
Our Camino Tales series continues as Steve & Sharon Canale share how they decided to celebrate retirement…by walking Spain’s 500 mile Camino de Santiago pilgrimage.
Steve & Sharon Canale were a special couple Gabriel and I got to know as we journeyed on the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage last year. I can say There were many fellow pilgrims who became friends with us on our 5 week journey but Steve & Sharon hold a special place. They hold that special place because they were with us on Day 1 when we set out from St. Jean Pied de Port just inside the French border and were with us on Day 31 when we arrived at the Cathedral in Santiago de Compostella. Of course we lost them for about 10 days in the middle of the Spain but that can happen when you are walking across a whole country

Steve And I in Santiago
Their tale is also more relevant to me now as well because they walked the Camino as a married couple…something I’ll be doing with Tammy this coming April and, well, I’m a little curious on how that is going to go.
Anyhow, Steve & Sharon’s pilgrimage will be an inspiration to you on your own life journey.
Steve
