My last post before actually starting my hike....
I simply wanted to share a little bit about the hostel I stayed in, as it's been such an incredible experience and a huge part of preparing me for my journey!
Our hosts are Ax & Karen. 7.months out of the year, they share their beautiful home with up to 14 pilgrims. They've both done the Camino, and based on their experience, decided to uproot their lives to serve other pilgrims by helping them along their journey, by providing them a place to stay, pilgrim breakfast and dinner, pilgrim ceremonies, and positive encouragement. I'm glad I booked my 2 days here, and would encourage anyone who is doing the Camino to do the same.
Thanks Ax & Karen! You have been an incredible part of my experience.
Here are some pictures....

Thanks Ax - you were a great host! Unfortunately, Karen wasn't available for the picture.
So exciting Bill. Conquer the BEAST!
