Between California and St James

David Roland (lawyer for Phil’s Camino), Felipe and Annie O’Neil (Director/ Producer) at Lake Forest.

 

Right here in the transition from desert of Southern California to jungle of Vashon Island, WA.   From celebrity to ordinary Phil.  Will be walking the trail here at 0900 in a few minutes.

Want to thank Santiago de Compostela Church for your  hospitality and your cheerfulness and warmth which you have a lot of.  It was a great visit for me and an opportunity for me to help out with a significant Camino project.   We did it up right.

A big thank you to Anne-Marie and John for putting up the Phil’s Camino entourage, no small feat.  Next time I will bring my bathing suit and take better advantage of the situation.  What lovely folks, thanks so much.

I see the links came in for my three homilies.  Thank you Bill.  I will get those to you Caminoheads soon, like tomorrow.

One thing that I have to comment on with all this coming and going was that I got to do a lot of talking with folks there during the Q and A’s and then just everywhere and anywhere around the church grounds,  I tried to make myself available as much as possible.  And I was getting a lot of feedback from folks about how much the movie was accomplishing in their own circles.   Remember Annie was there with the film a year ago.  There is a definite ripple effect happening and I personally am getting energized as these come back to me. How powerful!  I can see we will have to spend more time writing on this soon.

Yea, the trip was well worth all the hassle of travel.  But glad to be back to my Rebecca and the trail and the corn.  Good to be back to a little peace and quiet and the space to blog away with you all.

Glad that you stopped by, love, Felipe.

    1. Cris ~ well, we did it up pretty darn big. Did you have some sort of celebration down there? When can we talk, 4PM Thursday maybe? Felipe.x

  1. Happy Feast of St. James the Apostle, Felipe. It was on this day in 2013 that I started out from St. Jean Pied de Port with the saint pulling me toward Santiago. Love that church in Lake Forest, but I did that 12 mile walk last year in the early spring and, believe me, it would be brutal now as it’s mostly on hot pavement.

    So glad you made it safely back to your ranch, your corn and Your Rebecca. I look forward to those homilies, too!

    Alperfect!

    1. MM ~ so glad to hear from you. So, you started in 2013? And then you did a part? I have never gotten a grip on your overall itinerary. So, yea, back from Southern CA. I wasn’t feeling great and the whole thing was demanding, glad I was able to pace myself successfully. And yes, they seem to have plenty of hot concrete to walk on. But folks do it. The link is up on the blog for one homily. Hope to see you soon, Felipe.x
