Dear Jim, Thank you for taking all of us on this wonderful adventure! It’s been great hearing about it and seeing the videos too. Praying for you and for Wilai.
Blessings.....

Your last two entries are so fitting. If Hell is the granting of all that one thinks one wants only to find that this does not satisfy any needs and Heaven is the provision of all our needs, then you have managed to experience and describe both states to us in your final blogs. Thank you and may God continue to bless you.

Congratulations Jim for reaching your destination! I hope now you will be able to enjoy meeting all your fellow Marists - relax and reminisce.
Warmest wishes for a safe and happy trip.

Thank you Jim for allowing us to go on this trip with you. I've just spent the last half hour watching the videos, photos and reading the blogs. Well done for sticking with it, despite, some setbacks and bad weather. You must be counting the sleeps until the end. Thank goodness for your boots and sticks. Thoughts and prayers. Love Pat, David and Bobbi xxx Bobbi is snoring quietly at my side.

Dear Jim
Just wanted you to know that your front garden at home looks glorious in our Spring weather. The viburnum is a glorious rich green and the jasmine and gardenias have begun to bloom. Keep safe and well. Best wishes from Tony and Ro

Jim,
You are already past the half way mark and I have only just now figured out how to view not only the many spectacular photos (iPhone?), but hear your resonant voice explaining the scenes posted by video. Have just heard you speak of the boots and the poles being so important, and many other things of interest, such as the route markers. Your inspiration will want many of us to follow in your footsteps, literally. When you return, may I prevail upon you to write a brief manual about 'How to prepare for and undertake the Camino'. A boarding school class mate of mine and a small group are presently walking the Kumano-kodou, in Wakayama, which, along with the Camino is the only other UNESCO designated pilgrim's route. I will meet up with them when they arrive in Tokyo ahead of returning to Oz and will have many questions for them. FYI, they are walking 20 klms per day compared to your 25!
Wasshoi! Bob

Bonjour Jim,
That's the full extent of my French!
We have just caught up with your wonderful story. Loved the section where you passed by the water pump for a second look. We also had a difficult time getting to Limogne past that water pump as I thought I left my walllet on the track and after reaching Limogne ran back all the way 10kms looking for it but didn't find it because it was all the time on the hotel bed in Limogne! So it is a tricky area but well worth a second look .
Love your stories - now that we've found your blog again will follow you each day .

May God bless you with good health to walk all the way. I am sure this is a 'wonderful' experience for all us as well.
