Episode11 - Home On The Camino

Have you ever dreamed--maybe a fleeting thought, maybe a nagging desire--of uprooting yourself from wherever "home" is and relocating to the Camino? This episode focuses on two pilgrims who made the move. In 2005, Rom Bates and his wife Aideen moved from Ireland to Moissac, France, in order to open a gite d'etape--Gite Ultreia--on the GR-65 (http://www.ultreiamoissac.com/). A year later, Rebekah Scott and her husband Paddy left Pittsburgh, USA and established the "Peaceable Kingdom" in Moratinos, Spain, on the Camino Francés (http://moratinoslife.blogspot.com/). Rebekah has subsequently published her first novel, The Moorish Whore, which focuses on an 11th century Castilian princess who lived in Sahagún, along the Camino. Rom and Rebekah share stories on making the move, getting new homes established abroad, and living on the road to Santiago.
