So you can see by the elevation map that today has a major downhill. Well after yesterday…we decided to skip it and take a taxi to Triacastela 😮😁😉. Yup it’s an easy day today 🥳 It’s a nice little town and we have finally crossed over from Castilla & Leon into Galicia.

White wine I had during lunch. Not the whole bottle, just 2 glasses. It’s very nice.
So tomorrow we start for Sarria about 100 km from Santiago. In this last stretch we must walking carrying all our worldly possessions and get two stamps per day. In Spain some employers require a certificate of completion for employment to demonstrate the character of the applicant. Of course I hear all kinds of stories of taxis pulling up to a church, people dashing to get a stamp, and then driving off to the next stop. I can’t comment on that. I can only tell you that I will do my best to walk these last 100 km with my pack from Sarria to Santiago.
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.
