Almost there!

Hard to believe, but only 20km left to Santiago!  It has been an amazing journey and though I can't say I've loved every bit of it,  I am certainly glad that I have done it.  It has been the hardest physical challenge that I have ever done and some days very mentally challenging too !   3 little boys that hold my heart have been very hard to be away from and many days I considered what in the world am I doing ??    The thing is, there isn't much choice but to keep going-- yes, we did take the bus and taxi a couple times, but when you are out in the middle of the forest or halfway up a muddy mountain, that is not an option--you just have to keep on going.  I guess that is part of the lesson-- in life we can sometimes take shortcuts, but it usually catches up with you in the end-- you just have to keep going forward.  I started out on this adventure as a spiritual journey and I have learned a few things... But no "Neon Sign" from God on what it has all been for.. not yet anyway, but hopefully someday it will be more clear.   I wouldn't trade the experience and the time hanging out with Andy- a great gift !

I have listened to my music quite a bit while walking, and having my favorites has brought new memories to songs that have always had special significance.   The day going over the Pyrenees was only possible by 6 hours of my most very favorite Canon in D over and over and over. Other songs and random phrases have taken on different meanings here- I know that is a way of God speaking to me.  Today as I was walking and wondering what this has all been about, this song came on - it says a lot of what I have been feeling

Please keep us in your prayers for these last few miles--I feel like you are all going with us!
