Homesick for the Camino

Hello,  everyone.  This is the time of year that makes me think fondly of life on the Camino. We miss so much about it, even though the thing that makes it so special is that we have to leave our daily life behind. And when we return, we're happy to take up our activities,  like crafting, quilting,  beading, and sewing. We're also happy to cook, which is not a  thing that we can do while walking the pilgrimage. 

One way we try to get a little reminder of Camino life is by having tapas for dinner.

The figs and dragonfruit are from our garden. The pretzel nuggets looked interesting to try in the store.  The anchovy stuffed olives are available at Phoenicia, an import grocery store in Houston, Texas, which a relative visited recently. (Thanks, gang!)
