Snowing this morning, not too seriously and the sun is trying to come out. The He snow flakes are very fine and crystalline, not like the flakes that fall on Seattle which weigh a couple of snow shovels apiece. I am scheduled to go with my counterpart, Yoav, to the college where he teaches math. An interesting man that I need to spend some more time with.

Yesterday I walked through the back streets of Amherst to St Brigid’s to noon Mass. Remember how I was writing yesterday of wanting to spend more time during Lent reading spiritually uplifting material, well the priest gave me a book of the Pope’s quotes. Just helping out in a very Caminoy way.

Ah, the interview went well, short but well. I am glad that I took the time to organize my thoughts beforehand. So, I think that I got some very Caminoy notions across to the folks out there in radio land during my eight minutes of fame. No but seriously, who wouldn’t prosper from some thoughts inspired by our walk. We got them at high price and they are getting them for free besides.

After the interview I spent some time with Greg the interviewer and Ron, I think, the sound engineer, talking about Spain and the Way. Ron is going but has only so much time. “What part should I do?” Start at St Jean and walk as far as you want and then come back later is what I said. People get hung up on the last hundred kilometer thing, so I am trying to give them an alternative.

OK, I think it is time to get ready for our snowy drive. Hat, boots, gloves. Where is Kelly to get me organized? So, find your inner Kelly and get your day organized and going. St. Jean loves, Felipe.

p.s. – and the town that the print showed on yesterday’s post was Ein Karem. This the site of the visitation of Mary to Elizabeth and the of the birth of John the Baptist. Yoav takes students to Israel on tours and this is one of his stops there.
