“Over the river and through the woods…”




“Over the river and through the woods…”




Intruders from Le Puy-en-Velay become Camino acquaintances.




Who isn’t bowled over by Medieval architecture?




At the blessing of pilgrims, I was overwhelmed with emotions. Many familiar faces once considered intruders have now become part of my Camino. This is the spirit of the Camino.




Kismet. Once again I meet my two Parisian women met in Le Puy Cathedral. I accept their invitation to attend mass. It was the perfect opportunity to reflect on the people who have blessed my life. The more I remembered, the many more came to mind.




Today I meditate at Couvent de Malet.




Happy faces.




How much space can silence fill?




Why is it when these cows have all the tasty grazing pasture they congregate on the path?




I have been battling with remembering so little from my first experience on this Camino. Perhaps it’s good I don’t remember much from ten years ago. It is as though I’m seeing this country for the first time.
