Wednesday, August 19

One week from today, Gene and I will begin our journey. We leave Wed, August 26th. I have talked to friends who have walked the Camino and I have read many, many articles, blogs, etc., yet it's still hard for me to imagine what's ahead. I do know that it will be a real physical, emotional, and mental challenge. Nine years ago, I went to Santiago with my sister so I do know what is at the end of the journey. When I left Santiago, I knew that one day I wanted to return as a pilgrim, a "peregrina" and I am so excited that it is really happening. I look forward to all this journey will bring and I thank all of my family and friends for their encourgement and support. Gene and I will keep you "posted". susu 8/19/09

  7. Dear Susu & Gene,
    Wow! I cannot believe what you two have already seen, experienced, and been through! Susu, I hope your feet are getting well. I love reading all your posts. I have been at the beach and just read all your comments.

  9. Dear Gene and Susu,
    I wrote a LONG comment and then lost it--forgot my password!!
    So glad you are doing well (except for the feet)! I love reading all the stories--like the cathedral with the hen. Sounds like the terrain is really varied and beautiful.
    We leave for Ireland tomorrow--just now packing!
    Know that you continue to be in our prayers.
    Love,
    Martha
