Al Ataque: The Camino

Bienvenidos to the Camino

Danny - our Spanish guide par excellence - called us into battle:  Al Ataque!  And so we launched into battle city after city.  It was pure joy and we loved the experience.  So, now we are pilgrims along the camino.  Have you seen Martin Sheen in The Way?  We are moving north out of Portugal, but Sheen left out of France.  We are along the coast and began in Valenca, Portugal (we stayed in Tui, Spain but walked across the border to begin our Camino in Portugal).  Day one was a 17 mile sojourne to O Porrino.  The way is time for reflection to many and others a destination:  Santiago.  Nine of us attend the same church in Davis and we take time to reflect and talk about our faith.  We are pilgrims and friends spending time where time would not have been possible at home.  So, the pictures you see are - sometimes - the pilgrims and other times the beauty that surrounds us.  One thought to share from Spain

We were walking the streets one night.  The Spaniards are lovely people who embrace life.  They are facing the global crisis with elan.  It seems to summons the best in them.  We read one night on balcony - i will post another time - this sentiment:  Let's forget about the crisis for a moment my darling and let's go out and dance.  Que Bueno!
