Dear Rosalie,

First let me say that the pilgrimage was outstanding! My highest compliments to the team that put it together. Especially great was Xavier V our guide. He made the camino experience great. My only suggestion has to do with the unusual heat. We had no rain and excess heat (high 90’s). So starting later in the morning after Mass meant that we walked in the afternoon sun: brutal. So is it possible when such unusual heat strikes can Mass be in the evening, perhaps even at the hotel if necessary, so that the pilgrims can set out earlier in the day and not have to walk in the noon day sun? In three years I will be celebrating my 35th anniversary as a priest and 65th birthday. I am thinking of trying to organize a pilgrimage starting at Fatima and then going to the Spanish border to walk about 125 km to Santiago. Would 206 Tours be able to help me with this? I will contact you again. I also would request Xavier V and David, the bus driver, I cannot tell you what a great team they are!

Father Joe
