<DIV><BR></DIV>Hello to everyone,<BR>I've returned from the Camino and would
like to renew my friendship with you<BR>all.<BR><BR>Presently, I'm living on a
small farm on the North Island of New Zealand.<BR>Where I am slowly
returning to normality after a wonderful, exciting walk<BR>from Germany to
Finisterre.<BR><BR>I arrived in Santaigo on 22 September this year. Those of
you who were there<BR>and had not yet met me may remember an old fellow with a
big smile, long<BR>grey hair and beard standing in the square - that was
me. This was the<BR>paramount event my last 20 years! I have never felt more
alive or loved. A<BR>big thank you and a hug to everyone that gave me a smile,
shared their<BR>happiness or helped me along the way.<BR>To anyone
contemplating the journey, who may have concerns, I would say - DO<BR>IT. I
did not have a single bad experience or day along the way. I felt<BR>God's
presence and was always confident that I would arrive safely; every<BR>person
I met was helpful, kind and considerate. During my working life, I<BR>traveled
widely and I did not always have this secure feeling, but the<BR>Camino was
very different.<BR><BR>Thank you for the opportunity to re introduce myself
and I hope to hear from<BR>some of you soon.<BR><BR>Bill
