We had a beautiful day yesterday for our walk. Nancy from Kansas City came with two friends and we did the whole Phil’s Camino routine. It was fun. We picked corn and had it fresh for tapas and had Trader Joe’s Spanish wine. They had time to watch the film which I never seem to tire of.

Nancy had seen Phil’s Camino in St Louis this summer at the Gathering. That is the annual meeting of American Pilgrims on the Camino, the national pilgrim organization. I should have gotten more info from her about that but she did talk about one important thing. And that was the showing of the film there which Annie had brought. Nancy said that two hundred people attended and that there wasn’t a dry eye in the place. I had never thought about that particular showing but it must have been amazing with all those Camino veterans there.

Another fine person coming and going around here is Jeff who whittled out a Torta de Santiago for Burton Church coffee hour yesterday. Well actually have to mention that Jeff’s wife had a part in the production of that tasty treat. Thank you both. My Rebecca brought me a piece from church and I had my first taste of the cake of St James. This is the cake from the Middle Ages made with almond flour, sugar and eggs. Jeff had been here and walked Phil’s Camino last weekend and saw the film and was all inspired.

Wednesday some pilgrims from Southern CA are going to show up. They are from the Santiago de Compostela Church. We meet them in July down in Santa Monica. More great folks coming and going.

OK, have to go. Walking this morning and got an invite to go to a Mariner’s ball game this afternoon. OK, that’s it. Thanks for all you bring, love, Felipe.
