Dear Caminoheads,
August has started! Isn’t that crazy? The OASIS is coming soon and lots is being prepared. If you would see the “behind the scenes”, you wouldn’t believe what human beings can be capable of…
As for the plans, we mentioned already that there are a number of great ideas: there will be walking Phil’s Camino, CORN, hanging out at the ranch, maybe weeding the corn (ha!), activities on the island proposed by the locals, campfires with a glass of wine and storytelling, and as previously advertised, this year there will SIESTAS in the schedule!!!
The plans for having online Oasis Activities continues in the schedule, and we will let you know as we get closer.
There has been lots of RSVP already done, which is very much appreciated. If you are planning to come and have not yet let us know, please please please do! It is of tremendous help to know who is coming and how and when, as we are already connecting pilgrims for lifts and transportation, but also organizing meals and other stuff that is “per Caminohead”.
Remember: You don’t need to have gone to the Camino, speak Spanish or even walk to come to the Oasis. You just need to be a pilgrim, a pilgrim in the make, have the wish to be a pilgrim, have the thought that some day you might consider being a pilgrim, have the thought that you would have loved to be a pilgrim, be a neighbor/friend/son/partner/cousin/aunt/uncle, etc of a pilgrim, be a Caminohead, be a islander, or be yourself to come. So, please come! (and RSVP!!!)
Bottom line: RSVP to [email protected]
Add in your email when you are planning to arrive and to leave, how many of you are coming (families are more than welcome!!), where you are staying (or planning to stay), if you will have a car and can offer a lift or if you need a lift; also let us know if you are coming online and if you need any help. All of this can be fine-tuned later as your plans get more solid, but share with us what you know right now.
Oh? Have I mentioned that Phil has for us Oasis 2021 bandanas ready?!!!!!!! All is waiting for you (and us)! Please come! (and RSVP!!!)
Oasis Loves,
Cris on behalf of Phil/Felipe/The boss/The General and His Rebecca
Recommendation from Dr. Cris: Vaccination is important to save the others’s lives (in addition to ours). If you come to the Oasis, you are coming to be with Phil, Rebecca and other pilgrims, and by being vaccinated, you are taking care of all of them! Thank You!!!! (Note, this thought is my own responsibility)
Vaccinations are not really optional for me. I’m vaccinated but choose to avoid anybody or any event where unvaccinated people congregate. In this case, it could be a life and death issue for even vaccinated people who can still contract the Delta variant. People who are elderly or compromised by sickness, including the original Caminohead, are extremely vulnerable. To infect them is to risk their lives, and anybody can be a carrier.
I propose that vaccinated people only may come to the event. No super spreader, please. This is serious stuff and not a matter of personal belief or magical thinking. Vaccinations keep us, and those we contact, alive.
I’m deadly serious.
Thanks
Concur.
Steve-O yes, we have rule of faxed or people with natural immunity only. And we have the rule of people need a mask for going into house. Please don’t overly worry about my welfare, I’ve pretty much shot off all my ammo. Felipé.
Got it! I agree! I am also at high-risk and have been vaccinated to protect all those around me and myself.
No proof of vaccination = no corn for you! Deadly serious, also. This disease is no joke and has nothing to do with “right”s and “freedoms.” As a very popular r’n’r venue in Nashville has posted: We believe in science. Please get vaccinated. Yes, it’s a personal choice, just like holding the door for someone behind you, saying thank you, picking up after your dog, tipping your bartender, and being a decent person who cares about others. But we are all in this together. Let’s move forward!
Camino solidarity,
Mary Margaret
MM ~ We will work this out. Felipé.x
Thanks you for speaking up!
Thank you for sayin so!
Let’s get an “I’m Fully Vaccinated” (IFV) RSVP for all who want to attend.
No IFV, no entry?
‘Zat ok with you, Cris?
Of course!!!!!!!!!!! Safety First is the motto of this event!!!!!!!!
I’ll miss you this weekend, but should be healthy next weekend and plan to stop in for a visit. Jo will come too.
Already told Rebecca.
Go easy and enjoy the Oasis. Revel in it and soak it up.
I am, of course, holding you and Rebecca close to my heart.
Yeah, well, you seem to keep reloading those spent shells, and it’s been a gift to all of us.
Jo and I will be there next Saturday for a visit.
And a toast.
Let’s get one more in the chamber.
