Before February of 2001 I had not heard of "The Camino" nor of the Pilgrimage. By the end of October of that year I was in Santiago after completing the walk myself. I thought that when I reached Santiago my journey was over but I see now that my journey started way before I got to Spain and still has not ended.la peregrinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10992459469931809488noreply@blogger.comBlogger18751100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3919068.post-16080190600109131202012-03-15T10:21:00.000-05:002012-03-15T10:22:13.429-05:00The Java JiveI have finally discovered the joys of a good cup of coffee and I'm not talking about Starbucks.

My mother at maybe twenty years old in maybe the year 1948. The original copy of this photo is stained in places and I used a photo editor to clean it up as much as I could. As you can see she has been posed to conspicuously show her wedding ring. This makes me think the photo was taken soon after her marriage to my father but I may be wrong. This photo could have been taken as late as 1952. la peregrinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10992459469931809488noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3919068.post-44972450566427978172012-01-20T11:12:00.000-06:002012-01-21T07:24:28.722-06:00Faster Than A Speeding BulletBack in the late eighties my husband and I were Racquetball players.
