I have to talk about the showers today. Every shower I’ve encountered on previous Caminos work differently. It’s a learning experience every time. There’s a knob, there’s a dial, there’s something that looks like a stick shift on a car. Do you push it up? Down? Is hot to the left or right? It’s a mystery. And then there’s that one renegade spray duct that clogged and sprays ice cold water straight to your face while you’re trying to regulate the temperature.
And one more thing…
Every bathroom has this same trash can. You know how you step on the lever and instead of opening, the whole can tips toward you.
I’m just saying…
It was truly a great day. We stopped once for a snack at about 3.5 miles and then powered on to our hotel in Ponte de Lima.
My stamps for the dayAn extra stamp. I hope it’s ok since the year is wrong.
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.
