I have entered a number of the towns along the Camino, for those of you
that wish to help can help fill in the blanks (the translation of the
name of the towns)
Feel free to edit, change, or add info to this list. If you add a town
to the list make sure that is on the Camino and it goes in proper order.
Lets see if this works, if not, this exercise will be like the
dinosaurs.
I think it will be very interesting.
