On the train I was reading a book about the Camino de Santiago (a pilgrimage route in northern Spain), written by a woman who did the entire walk (the book is. Walk in a Relaxed Manner. We agreed that probably some of our values and beliefs might have deepened a bit but nothing seemed “life changing” for us.

Journeys, adventures, and travels through the days! Wednesday, July 22, 2009. I want to thank the congregation of St. Paul for all of their donations - almost $3,000 has been raised! These gifts have been some amazingly generous and I appreciate so much wonderful support. The days seem to be going by faster and faster as I try to fit in all the things I want to do and see all the people I want to see. I look forward to keeping you all posted on what is yet to come!
