099/499 … finding the Great Jewel (09/25/08)

This was the first of many “side trips” I made, where I saw something that intrigued me and simply left the Path to go and see for myself.  On this particular “detour” (there are actually no detours on the Camino, just as their are no real detours in Life), I went through this dusty field and climbed the hill to the church seen on top. The view (seen externally & Seen internally) was truly spectacular.
