This is so exciting! I am sharing it with you first thing and say that I have no details but just the headline. But Cris our beloved Caminoheads South America Bureau Chief was asked by Annie O’Neil the Producer/Director of Phil’s Camino to do a translation of the film into Spanish. This would mean that the film could be distributed with Spanish subtitles for the Spanish speaking audience! Wow!
This has actually been talked about for years but the time must be right for this to happen. Saint James must be Afoot, that’s all I can think of. We all know what happens when he is on the loose, THINGS HAPPEN! Maybe I could have him come and take a look at my corn?
I can see Cris having so much fun with this. She is SO the right person to do this. I pray that she will have enough hours in her day to tackle this and have it be fun and not a burden. Won’t it be great to have this whole new audience out there. It just occurred to little old me that Spanish speaking audiences could be much more familiar with pilgrimage than English speaking audiences. Yea, maybe.
Speaking of Phil’s Camino documentary. It is being shown with a QandA afterward today and you can get it in your living room during lockdown. I’ll be there. Annie will be there. No masks required. You have to go to the FaceBook group Pilgrimage in Place and follow directions. You must register to get links. But the QandA starts at 3PM Pacific Time. So the film must start 2 or 2:30.
OK, it is a beautiful no cloud in the blue sky sunny day here. I must go and get with my projects and chores. Once again, thanks so much for being here.
good news loves, Felipé.
So Cool!! I think St. James WILL help with your corn – and the sunshine will help a bunch, too! See you at 3:00!
Guau! Buenas noticias!
Felicidades!
Mucho amor,
Henriette Anne
How nice it was to see you yesterday, Henriette!!! We were short of talk in the Veranda… we should fix that… !!! But love to read your comments always, and that you are chatting away with Phil often!
Hugs to you and Kate!
Cris
Wow! This is great news.
An entire new group of people who will learn about Phil, his story, and the wonders of the Camino and Camino family.
Good luck Annie and Co with this next installment, and Cris you will do us all proud! ❤️

Thanks, Rho!
I was thinking that you and Ron will have A LOT of work if the translation into Spanish moves forward… San Diego is definitely an area with lots of Spanish speakers (and Portuguese… I know several Brazilians living in San Diego!)… Hopefully, the world will heal soon, and who knows, maybe we (Annie, Phil, you, Ron and I) can do a South American/Latino/IberoAmerica tour in 2021??? A new sort of Rolling Stones… that actually kicked off with Philstock (aka Veranda 2020!)
Let the fun begin!
Love,
Cris
Hi Boss,
Thank you for so many kinds words to me, but it is Annie actually the one who deserves to be thanked for. And honesty first, it is important to say that I volunteered myself to her to do the translation and she has so kindly and amazingly said yes and trusts that I will do a job of quality to honor her movie and your story. No pressures AT ALL from Annie!!!
Somehow, I have been reflecting a lot lately how is that “I am busy all the time”… ? There is no way that such a statement is true… and after lots of reflection, I realized that I have my priorities messed up… a lot has to do do with the FOMO thing -Fear Of Missing Out- that I think I have been too engaged with!… so, I have done some re-order into my days and time has been made for this great and fulfilling task of creating the subtitles in Spanish for Phil’s Camino…!!!
It came to my mind something my Camino friend Fr. B from Scotland says to me almost every time we speak (which is almost weekly!!!!!!!!!): “Cris, there is a good news and a better news: The good news is that there is a Saviour, the better news is that it is NOT you”…
Humbling LOVES,
Cris
(Thank you for being my friend!!!)
Cris ~ this is so exciting. I see what you are saying that you will have to reshuffle your life somewhat to make room for this project. Thank you for that. Felipé.x
