[A blog from Caleb]
I had the honor of taking a scallop shell on the Camino for my former neighbor, Alan. His wife, Julia, died of cancer as had always wanted to hike the Camino, but passed away before she could. So, he asked me to bring the shell with me on the Camino and leave it somewhere in Spain. I brought the shell and at the very end, left it in Santiago. I had been praying about where to leave it, and decided that I should leave it in the park. I found a wall in the park with many holes where I could leave the shell and no one would disturb it. So, it was there where I left the shell. It was a great honor to carry Julia’s shell along the Camino, and to leave it in Santiago.
I really enjoyed reading this post, Caleb. Thank you for sharing a very important part of your journey with us. What an honor to carry this shell and leave it right where God showed you. I can’t wait to hear more, so keep writing! Love you!
Hi Caleb, thank you for carrying Julia’s shell.
I know she is very happy to see that it made its way to a place she always wanted to go. I hope you had a great time on your trip and thank you again so much for doing this for her.

Thank you, Alan, for giving Caleb the honor of doing that. Also, we will be closing on a new house this week just to the east of you off of Ranch Rd. We’d love to have you over for dinner once we get settled!
