We arrived in Paris on Saturday, August 26 for three nights. We’re visiting with my cousin; she is quite elderly. Whenever I’m in Europe I make a point to go and visit her. When we’re on the same side of the Atlantic it’s practically like being in the same neighborhood. Tomorrow we take a train to Pamplona for two nights and will begin our walk on Thursday morning.

I don’t know if this is some kind of a sign but last night as we were walking to my cousin’s apartment we passed two women carrying backpacks with the shell of Saint James. Ah Pilgrims! It turns out that last year they walked the way of Vezelay in France to Pamplona (over 900 km I think). They were on their way to take the train to Pamplona to finish their walk. Perhaps we’ll meet them some time on the Way.

I have mixed feelings. I’m still concerned about the walk and at the same time I am so looking forward to it. I will keep you all posted about adventures on the camino.

Buen Camino

I am me, a person with love for others, a passion to be creative, and a desire to be a cheerleader for others. I’m a wife, a mommy, and a grandma (you can call me by my grandma name “Lady M”). I’m on a search to grow and connect more fully with God. I didn’t grow up particularly church, married a man who had, and we raised our three daughters in the church. I found a place to belong in the church and somehow discerned a call to go to seminary. I received a Masters of Arts and Religious Communication (MARC). I went on to become ordained as a deacon in the United Methodist Church and served in media ministry and Christian education. As clergy I found that I didn’t have a place to belong in the church so I left the United Methodist Church in 2010. I still believe and I’m still on a quest to draw closer to God. And I’m going to walk the Camino de Santiago.
