Do you Have a Match? Bocadillos, Poppies, and Pilgrims is a personal
account of my first walk across northern Spain on the 1200-year-old
Camino de Santiago in 2003. I went there not knowing why. I was only
following persistent chills and goose bumps that dogged me whenever I
read anything about northern Spain and the Camino. I went because the
Universe was pushing me a little more than gently in that direction. At
the end of my third day walking, I met Petra who was to become my wife,
my companion on my pilgrimage through life. The Universe had a reason to
push me. It wanted me to meet Petra.
