September 28, 2026 Saumur, France 🇫🇷 I have crossed a barrier. I just read a paragraph is French and afterwards realized that I was not reading English text. As a student in France we knew when we were becoming acclimated to the language because we began dreaming in French. The mind is a funny andContinue reading “WHAT DID I JUST READ?”

AN AUSPICIOUS START
September 26, 2026 Tours, France After an excellent trip to Yellowstone the the Grand Tetons we are once again on the road. Or in the air as it may be. And riding the rails too. It really was a janked up beginning to this trip. We gave ourselves two days to do laundry and re-pack,Continue reading “AN AUSPICIOUS START”
YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK
September 11, 2026 Yellowstone National Park Today is a solemn day. I remember vividly that I was starting my first day of work at a new church 25 years ago. Before turning into the parking lot I heard on the news that a plane had flown into the World Trade Center. My first thoughts thatContinue reading “YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK”
MY FINAL DAY IN ROME MAY 15 – THE LAST LATE POST FROM ITALY
The Way of St. Francis May 15, 2026 Rome Miles walked I’m sitting in a little church. Definitely not one of the big basilicas that dot the streets of Rome. This one is more modest and there are less than 20 people visiting it. Some come to visit or like the young man in frontContinue reading “MY FINAL DAY IN ROME MAY 15 – THE LAST LATE POST FROM ITALY”
MONTELUCO
The Way of St. Francis April 30, 2026 Spoleto to Monteluco Miles walked 3.01 So you’re probably wondering why my walking miles is so low. Well it’s because I took a taxi. Yesterday’s walk was so challenging and the climb today was very difficult (that’s what the guide said “very difficult”) and in combination withContinue reading “MONTELUCO”
TWO HILLS AND 16 MILES
October 7, 2025 Camino Portuguese, Day 17 Total miles walked today Padron to Santiago de Compostela Here it is, the last day of walking. It’s the longest walk and as you can see there are two significant ascents. In fact, the second ascent is continually upward until one reaches the plaza in front of theContinue reading “TWO HILLS AND 16 MILES”
STRANGER THINGS
You’re probably wondering why I chose “STRANGER THINGS” as the title of this post. Well I have been waiting so long for the final season of STRANGER THINGS and I’ve been procrastinating so long finishing the blog post from the Camino Portuguese that it seemed kind of appropriate. Although I hardly expect that you allContinue reading “STRANGER THINGS”
AN UPDATE
There’s an old saying, “The best laid plans often go awry”. Or for the more religious minded, “If you want to make God laugh, make plans”. I had planned to re-post all the posts from my first Camino in 2019. I’m about to embark on my third Camino and I wanted to reflect on theContinue reading “AN UPDATE”
CATCHUP TIME
June 14, 2023 Dear Fellow Pilgrims, I have been writing this blog since early 2019 before I walked my first camino in September/October 2019. Along the way I made a lot of “digital” mistakes, but I have discovered better ways of designing my site, learned how to add pictures, link to other pages, and more.Continue reading “CATCHUP TIME”
WHO DO YOU SAY THAT I AM?
13 Now when Jesus came into the district of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?” 14 And they said, “Some say John the Baptist, but others Elijah, and still others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” 15 He said to them, “But who do you say that IContinue reading “WHO DO YOU SAY THAT I AM?”
