Congratu;ations on having crossed the meseta in the summer!!! And thanks for taking the time to post all those blogs. Your team really covers a lot of ground each day. I'm going to try to keep it to no more than 20km/day as that is when feet really start to protest. Thanks for the idea of freezing water.

Hi What a treat it is to see your blog when it comes in. Craig and the boys were at church today and they seem to be doing okay. We are home from the Yukon and looking forward to seeing you when you get home.. I gave out a sheet to the congregation today asking them to keep track of the places that they go to this summer and mark them down. The concept is keeping in touch with the congregation and taking Jesus along with you.. You will have some work to do when you receive flat Jesus... Have fun! Blessings

I know you're thinking about it…. I know you're thinking about it….. bet you really are. But I'm begging you Lynda. You know I love ya, but please please please don't show us a picture of your baby toes. (I can just imagine!)
Don't give up - you can do it. Get yourself some more chocolate.
You know me too well ?! I was so going to post a picture of my "hamburger toes" but since you asked so nicely, I will refrain (for now). I can't make any promises for any future self-pity moments, though ?. It is soooooo hot here, chocolate won't even make it over the Meseta (but have enjoyed some great ice cream after dinner ?). Thanks for making my day ?
Thank you : ) Thanks Tim - that's very kind of you. Writing these blogs helps me to keep my days organized; otherwise I wouldn't have a clue what day it is or where I've been! This is a great trip, but very hard on the bod and, at times, hard on the mind!
Blessings Hi Lynda, how great it is to hear from you and to journey along beside you.. I have learned so much since you began your journey. Thank you for keeping us all involved, I look forward to hearing from you.
God bless you, I suspect it's much like a book, the sooner you get to the end the more you will want it to go on.
