October 9, Day 5 exhausted!

 Word for the day, reconciliation, with the church and with the walk.  It got very hot today, another 25 km. A better pace for Sunday. Lots of animals with bells along the way!

 








A yellow butterfly joined me for much of the walk,  it was too elusive for a pic.  I’m sure Mom’s presence helped me finish!
A lovely path for reflection 

And of course, the sheep. Too tired for much reflection.

                              jeez Louise!

Vermouth in Barcelona

Image
Hola from Barcelona!  I arrived on Wednesday, September 28 with my daughter Eileen. I have been slowly adjusting to the big city. Walking, exploring Museu Nacional  D’Art de Catalunya, Barcelona. Like Don Quixote, (Ismael Smith, circa 1927), I will be tilting at windmills on this awesome journey.  Eileen and I joined some of her friends for a vermouth festival along the Mediterranean Shores.  It was complete with music, great vermouth, and quite the lightning show. I don’t think that’s a halo over my head!  But maybe at The end of my 30 day pilgrimage, it might be. So I was the only won who won a t-shirt by completing the Olympic bottle toss by lassoing 3 Bottles!   The night ended with my first  ride on an electric bike, and I didn’t crash.   Speaking of crashing; it’s 12:30 am,  Beyond time of my turning into a pumpkin. So I’m going to crash. Jeez Louise!

November 1, Day 27, Finale!

Image
Word for the day:  FINALE:   The close or termination of something!  Unfortunately, my grand nephew, Artemis Harrison McRae, age 2 years, 1 month; died today in his parents’ arms after sustaining brain damage  He experienced appendicitis, obtained a new liver, but was snatched from this earth this day, All Saints Day! It has added such sadness and disbelief to my life.  So, On this day of incredible loss for our family, we ended our pilgrimage.  We had a final  lunch after going to Mass at Sagrada Familia.   The Holy Family also suffered much loss, but Jesus was in his family’s life for 33 years; rather than 2! 6 For I am already being poured out like a drink offering, and the time of my departure is at hand.  7 I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.”    2 Timothy 6-7                 Nativity on right side, blues & greens         ...

January7, 23 Nativity

Image
Yesterday was the feast of the nativity.  My grandchildren came over to place the kings around the baby Jesus, so they could complete their journey.  We called their aunt Tia Leenie (Eileen) where she was celebrating King’s Day!  In Spain and other Latin countries, this is the day of gift giving. Feliz Dia de Reyes!  Word of the day:  fishermen.   Fisher of men and women.  The readings on this 17th day of our journey included the story of John and James who left their profession to become fishers of people. We are challenged to become contemplative in action!  Always following the River.  The Segre River is a tributary of the Eros, the river we had followed in the Basque Country, beginning in Loyola.   The church at the top of the hill in Lleida. And the ever beautiful changing sky!            It was great to reconnect and meet new pilgrims! And of course, the journey continued!        ...
