Volunteering At the Pilgrim's Office in Santiago

I am really happy to let you know that I have been accepted as a volunteer in the Pilgrim's Office in Santiago.  I will be one of those happy faces to greet you when you come to receive your Compestella or to ask for help in any way.
I heard about this opportunity last year when I was walking to Finnesterra from Santiago.  A woman I met had just finished her 2 weeks.  It sounded like a great idea and I applied to Johnny Walker on the Forum  (the Camino de Santiago Forum) and was accepted.  I was sure that wouldn't happen as my language skills (Spanish) are almost non-existant.
So on July 17 I will be at my post for 2 weeks.   I will be one of 4 for those 2 weeks and I am really looking forward to it.

I will report back in August.
