I am happy to be back home.
BUT I am glad and greatful for the company and comradeship that I experienced, which turned the Via de la Plata for me into an unforgetable adventure, although I never got a "vino cortado".
Special thanks to:
Jos and Boy: for sharing your great Camino experience with us. Unfortunately you had to leave our little group in Merida
Ingeborg: for demonstrating that energy is not an issue of youth. You had to stop in Caceres.
George: for your good British humor in tough situations (...dive for your wallet). Sorry we could not walk into SdC together!
Jürgen: demonstrating that giving up is not an option. Also for your ongoing spanish lessons. It was fun walking with you! I hope we meet again some time soon! Greetings to Ulla!
Manfred: I would love to walk with you, if you could ever slow down a bit and make a break some times. Also thanks for your talent to improvise.
Carlos: not only for your cooking (great), but also for your refreshing openness in our many conversations. See you in Sevilla in 2010!
Juan: your energy example and patience when we spoke English or German. Also see you in Sevilla in 2010! (Carlos will translate this for you!)

Conclusion: The Via does not make you any younger, but who would trade the experience made at the Via for youth?

Hasta Luego All!
