Kelly came over for dilly dally and dinner.  Then we watched the 1961 El Cid with Charelton Heston and Sophia Loren.  One big Spanish history lesson.   I saw a Sophia quote the other day where she said that, “Everything she had she owed to spaghetti.”   I’m thinking on that one.

So, Kelly says to me me that it’s all my fault.  Well, that the walk was my idea and I invited him to go along.  And now he thinks about it everyday and can’t get rid of it.  You know how Kelly is, saying this sort of half in fun but even so ….  Very true Kel.

We are walking in a few minutes so I am going to give you the lean and mean version this AM as time is short.  Wiley is coming as well as Ross, a young man who has been afflicted/ blessed with blindness.  He is a rare fellow.  I enjoy his company.

Then there is a wonderful new friend that is out on the Meseta as we speak.  I have been communicating with her via phone messaging.  I am jealous.  I want to spend the day with her.  I am trying to imagine that big empty place in November.  Bigger and emptier than August when we could bearly see another pilgrim.  Yea.

OK, big and empty is a good place to leave you.  Perhaps we can fill it with our positive energy, good spirits, prayers, thoughts, wishes, hopes, hoops, yells, hollers, memories.  Excellent.

Love to you, Felipe.
