Buenos Aires, Argentina

The sky is cloudy and it is drizzling.
Buenos días Peregrinos!
I decided this morning to hijack the boss’s blog and write a post on his behalf… With these blogging injuries he has been talking about, my medical training indicates that he should be prescribed a day off of blogging, would you agree?
It isn’t that life in the South Cone is running smoothly at the moment, in fact is all rocky, but at least, there are no blogging injuries so far!!!
In Buenos Aires city and Great Buenos Aires (what it is called the “AMBA” -Metropolitan Area of Buenos Aires-), we are in a new lockdown due to COVID since yesterday. At the moment, it is sort of “soft” but the situation is getting serious and I am afraid more severe measures will be soon needed.
Personally, in the last month, life has been pretty much like the first half of Stallone Rocky III movie, although I am not in a boxing ring. There have been some unexpected fast-pace news family related, including that my only brother and his family (i.e. my only two young nephews with whom I am very close) are moving abroad this coming weekend. So, it has been busy, in all the ways this word can be used…
Although, I guess that who is truly going through a very sorrowful painful time right now is Queen Elizabeth, with the dead of her husband of 74 years, at age 99… I don’t know a lot about the Royal Family in England, but one of the things that I have always been touched by were the pictures where the 2 of them were… there was always a look of love and companionship, unbelievable after so many years…
But, as we all may know -if you are friends with Phil, Phil’s Rebecca and/or Catalina in the facebook-, there have been fantastic big news about the work, that Catalina started and completed by the three of them, related to the book about the Caminoheads blog. I will let the boss comment more about this when he feels it is the time, but all I can say is that that book will be life changing to anyone reading it… It is an extremely well curated distillate of Phil’s thoughts (and you know the boss can be wild!) This is why I would like to give you all an early kind free-of-charge advice and suggest start saving money to buy several copies and distribute to everyone you love and want to live their lives fully.
Hopefully, I will hit the right button and have this posted!
Be patient Loves,
Cris

Thank you! You are a wonder!
To Hijack Cris.
Sounds like you are riding on a very rough road at this moment.
Hold on tight ,all will smoothen out.
Having had the privilege of meeting several members of the Royal Family in my Life I feel the Queens pain.
The Duke of Edinburgh and I had a one on one chat back in July of 1965.
On a personal level my Mother in Law passed recently at the age of 93. Dad is also 93 and is challenge as he has lost someone he has known since the age of 15. 78 years together of which they were married almost 72 years.HEARTBREAKING.
Looking forward to “THE BOOK”

Dear William,
I am sorry to hear about your mother in law passing, what an amazing experience it must be to share your life with someone for 78 years… that is what touched me from Queen Elizabeth and Prince Phillip too…
As for life, we know, right? Some parts of the Camino are uphill, but we eventually get to more plain parts too!
Warm hugs,
Cris
Yes, it worked and thank you for announcing the soon-to-be published distillation of those blogs of Felipe.
We all have need of accepting that breath that the creator gives us and it is no coincidence that taking a deep breath serves to lower our anxiety and prepares us to take the next step in a fruitful direction. So many are continuing their journey in discomfort, we need to share love with all including ourselves.
Watch out for the effects of hours looking st the screen, legs crossed or not, to remain in good condition.
Ron,
I always always always love your comments! And you know what? I had not thought about wearing weights in my ankles to help in my posture, but I will start wearing them tomorrow!!!
Thank you for the company!
Buen Camino!
Cris
Nice to hear from you, Cris! Missing our Filipe and hope he heals soon from his blogging injuries. Sorry to hear about your brother moving abroad. That must be a blow especially when things, it sounds, will again become more isolating. Sending much love and strength from our humble abode in Southern California.

Dear Carol,
Indeed it has been quite a news… I am so glad that my work includes working with several people who I consider friends too, with whom I am in contact daily, which makes me feel accompanied always… I am so happy too that I, along all of you, have grown to experience “this neighbourhood”, which is long distance but also so close!
Hugs to you! Hope you are doing well! I think of you often! <3
