I felt an excitement the first time I heard of walking the Camino de Santiago de Compostela, and now it's about to become a reality. I refer to it as a "Pilgrimage" and I expect it to be a rich spiritual (Jesus) time. I've extended my stay in Europe to cover other countries where I'm also expecting to encounter God in new ways. I hope to record some of my experiences here. But I see the whole of life also as a Pilgrimage. So, the writing may continue after the forthcoming trip.

Up and away
I'm writing this from the hotel in Madrid where I arrived about an hour ago after a straightforward journey from Sydney vía Dubai, and a successful circumnavigation of Madrid using public transport. One reason for this brief entry is to see that I can post an entry from "foreign parts". The Pilgrimage is now well and truly begun. I'm feeling eager to get further into Spain. I will probably write again when I've started walking.

Hi Peter
ReplyDeleteGreat to hear you have arrived safely in Madrid. Got your you've arrived in Madrid. Looking forward to reading more about your pilgrimage.
God Bless you. Peter F.
Glad to hear you've reached your 1st stage - I wonder how long it will be before you start to wind down? Always takes me a week then it's usually tine to come back home.
ReplyDeleteCities are so interesting to walk. Look at the buildings above the shops in the streets, first floors upwards. Did this in London and it's really interesting. If you see any weird and wonderful doors and feel like taking a photo of them I'd be most grateful for a digital copy. I collect images of interesting doors (yes, I know it's a bit weird!)
Lots of love from us down here in sunny Devon

Hello uncle Peter, We miss you but are please that you have at last met a lady that talks the same as you. Are you going to marry her? Daddy said to let you know that he got a message yesterday from your really big friend and said I could send it on to you. Keep safe and dry cause I don't want you to get another cold like you had when you stayed with us. Love from us all your little friend Garfield.
