Incredible trip - some of the stages were a little long but the unexpected rest day really helped. Almost all good accomodations, except for the one room with bed bugs (not the fault of Creatio). Some of the earlier days, the schedule didn't allow us to make it to mass. I think partly because of the time of year - right after the feast of St James, some parishes along the way reduced their mass times. Would have appreciated maybe one more day of walking to cut down on some of the very long days.
Gus and Aimee were really wonderful. Gus is going to be a great missionary guide and it was a joy to go along with Aimee on her last trip. Really appreciated their thoughtful reflections. All the planning was super smooth for the participants, it was a really gentle way to be introduced to a pretty demanding walking tour.
