Camino de Santiago, or the Way of St. James, was declared by Pope Alexander VI in 1492 to be one of the “three great pilgrimages of Christendom”, along with Jerusalem and the Via Francigena to Rome. More than 200,000 pilgrims a year follow routes from France, Portugal and Spain to arrive at the...
It was a really hot summer, then it was cool for a few glorious days, now it’s back to hot. There’s been hotter summers, so I shouldn’t complain. I’m sitting here at my dining table surrounded by Fall decor. I couldn’t help myself. I guess I thought it might help...
