Do You Have a Match? Bocadillos, Poppies, and Pilgrims Mike Metras

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.
