The Way of St James

Today we traveled the way of St James from Leon to Santiago De Compestella. It was very warm today our first day at about 30. We are having a lot of fun trying to speak to the locals - ordering lunch is a very interesting experience. Lucky for us Fr Michael knows some Spanish and we are enjoying the conversations and exchanges taking place. The pilgrims on the way were amazing. They have probably walked for about 4 weeks. Many start in France and make the long journey following the signs and symbols of the shells. It would be a fantastic thing to do. 
This afternoon we had free time and one of our children lost their wallet!!!After frantic searching and placing accounts on hold, our tour guide (Palo) went to the Police station and asked if it had been handed in. I am sure someone is looking after us as the police had had it handed in. Absolutely amazing as there are so many people - I am renewed in the human spirit. 
However, I am sworn to secrecy and you must all try and work out which one of our beautiful children would do such a thing???
