We just pulled in to Palas de Rei and it is 1711. Most of the cafés and other watering holes have wifi so I try to keep in touch with you as often as possible. Rick is less strict than Kelly with this. Kelly wouldn’t let me wifi around during the day.
I am going to read through my blog posts from in Spain and see if I missed anything major and catch up. So many things have happened that I feel like I have captured ten percent of it. Maybe I can glean a few more important items.
I have some cooking/food thoughts that I could throw in here. 1. Gazpacho rules and is really a blend of tomatoes and peppers, onions maybe cucumbers. Then it needs some croutons, oregano and a little olive oil floating on top. 2. Olives, peppers and anchovies on sticks was one of my favorites. 3. Crunchy bread with olive oil and salt. 4. Tortilla Española is good and easy. It’s egg and potato pie.
Maryka just got some of her grades: three A’s. So we are celebrating, cervesa grandes all around. She is laughing and having a good time after all her hard work.
OK, I have to go do some serious stuff now. Shower, laundry and troll for dinner. Love you all immensely, Phil.
Like 73Km to go? Gotta be a little sweet sadness in getting near to the — what? not end, not final destination– maybe to the completion of this Camino pilgrimage . Maybe getting to the start of who-knows-what?
Important time, I’d guess. May your joy be bigger than you– more than you can hold.
SteveO, yes, bittersweet moments. Phil.
You continue to be in our prayers
R, Sitting here having lunch with Rick and Maryka and they say hello. Thanks for your prayers, Phil.
These words do not express the magnitude: I am SO excited for you! Wow, eggman! Wow! I also read today’s posts, and felt a little tug-I too ate lunch in Melide coming down off the Camino Primitivo last year. I am thinking of you and the crew as I am shepherding this project along its own Camino over here <3 Sending buckets of love and joy! Peace-A
