Enjoying your Posts
Love all the amazing blue Portugese Azueljo tiles along your way. Karen, happy to see you are feeling better and have been able to do some of the walking. Especially glad to see you also finding alternative transportation at times to conserve your energy. The extra rest seems to be serving you well...and the bonus is ..... you're had extra time to explore the towns & museums along the way. That bonus extends to us - your friends and readers - we get to see and hear more about the Pilgrim route from all angles. Love all the 'pilgrim angels' and their stories. Tell Harlan we are getting a good sense of all the ups and downs and quality underfoot...as he and Jo walk every step of the way. I'm following Jo's blog too. Loved all the festive umbrellas......and the brightly colored steps. The wildly colored pole had special influences as I see you and Jo were just about to do a pole dance right then and there. Keep the blogs coming! We look forward to them even if we don't write back.
