Please beware when we speak of William’s 1200 kilometer Camino de Santiago; this was no tourist trap trail you book online! This was a throw your phone off the cliff and rely on your knowledge and experience and faith to guide you.
Knowing there was no hotel or even promise of food at the end of the day.
William chose Spain to begin his European Spiritual Journey because he learned Spanish bit by bit in America working with people from Mexico, South America, Cuba, Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico.
In Spain he met many migrant workers who were happy to help him with food , water and a quick ride if he was lost.
When he told people of his journey and his no map, no phone approach. The response among old school Catholics was,
“Camino con Dios”. (You are walking with God. )
William always smiled and said , Yes.
This made people nervous and they would drop him off , saying,
“The angels will guide you”
William smiled and winked,
“Thank you, Angel “
