Linda Hey Linda these stories are so inspirational. I am very happy for your journey and am proud of your success keep strong, you'll have a warm hug and smile waiting for you at the finish line!!!
Photos... you don't have to add a blog with just pictures. You can go to "List Entries" on your profile page, and then select the blog entry that you wish to edit to include photos. Then click on Photos, and do the upload. You can also rotate your pictures and add labels of what they are. If you have any questions, let me know or post them on the appropriate Forum. I hope you are able to post them soon, but definitely understand the problems of the lack of time and reliable high speed internet!
I've just started Following you... as I just ran across this blog on the Newest blog tab and am very interested in walking the pilgrim trail someday. I look to your blogs to provide further inspiration.
Reply to "Did u get my response?" No, sorry I didn't. But no matter--It is so fun meeting, traveling and working with and knowing people like you. I admire your adventuresome spirit. Blessings
Brave Lady You are one plucky lady - venturing over mountains and unfamiliar terrain. I admire you!
Nehemiah 8:10 says "The joy of the Lord is our strength and stronghold." (Amp) It is one of my favorite scriptures. Psalm 5:12 says that God surrounds his children with favor as with a shield. I will pray that wherever you go, God's favor will surround you, go before and protect you. Be blessed!

How awesome What an amazing adventure you are on. I am so very impressed with you willingness to put yourself out there and try new adventures. I certainly look up to you and look forward to any information that you post on your trip.
God Bless and be safe,

Thank you! Rebecca,
I sincerley appreciate that. Just crossing the Pyrenees I learned a lot and talked a lot with God. It was a hard trek but a true blessing. Went to mass at St. Jean later that night and took communion. Couldn't understand a word of mass, but I know Catholic mass well enough, and I know yesterday and the struggle over the Pyrenees was a GREAT blessing.
Grace and Peace to you Rebecca from Zubiri, Spain.
Wonderful So great to see pics of your adventures, Linda. Thank you for including me in your blog and also the comparisons to China. I have been to Italy and Germany, but no other countries in Europe. Will look forward to your postings. Enjoy and be safe. Are you by yourself?
Good luck .... I look forward to your next post ... My gf and I are planning this same walk for either Aug/Sept and was happy to read of your plans for the Camino de Santiago. I will look for your updates as they trickle in; and hope to learn some valuable info re: what to expect, etc.
Good luck to you as you pursue your own dreams .....
Regards from San Diego, CA

PS Feel free to write me directly if you have some interesting info to share.
Xinyang We sure enjoyed our time in Xinyang too. Sounds like you are having a great trip. And getting around by yourself--very adventurous and brave. How do you communicate?? I couldn't read or speak when I was there and completely dependent on our translator. Blessings...
Getting around Jim,
It isn't always easy. I speak VERY little Chinese and read none. There are many Chinese that do speak some English and I have a cheat sheet to help me. Plus I have friends in Xinyang so they can save me if I really need it!
This is truly a great adventure though.
Linda
Xinyang Oh how I miss our noodle shop. That was our fiest big venture into eating on the street. The taste of those noodles always tops the list of favorite foods.
Noodle Shop I went at 6am to play ping pong with Anna. Still no sign of our noodle shop but many doors were closed so early. There was a new noodle shop open in the same strip though. Charles and I will go there today for lunch and find out for sure if it is open or closed. I will be sad if is closed though.
Linda
Pizza Don't really miss American food much. Maybe cold water. But I rarely eat pizza, even at home, as I have pretty much given up dairy and gluten. The pizza was very good. No pizza sauce, but I really kind of liked it like that.
July 1, 2012 - Head on a new adventure with chinaconnect to teach in Nanchang, Jiangxi Province, China. I will be in China until August 5th. Stay tuned and follow my adventures!
