<font size=4 color="#800080"><b>The Fifth Annual Gathering of the Friends
of the Camino de Santiago<br>
<br>
</font></b>In a posting of January 3, I wrote that the deadline for
registrations for the Williamsburg, Virginia 2002 Gathering would be
February 20. Due to the need to do as much advanced planning as
possible, <b>we would like to ask everyone to send in their registrations
to Sandy Lenthall by Feb. 15 if possible</b>. We have an upper
limit of participants that we can host and we'll make every effort to
accommodate all those interested, but if the response is too great we'll
let the Camino community know by an e-mail posting to the GOCAMINO
list. The entire hotel is now reserved for Gathering participants
but we have to release unclaimed rooms several weeks in advance, so
please make your reservations soon.<br>
<br>
For those of you on other Camino listservs/bulletin boards, here's a copy
of the previous announcement for re-posting. <i>¡Buen camino a
todos!</i> george greenia<br>

reflections on the personal exploration that molds the pilgrim’s
