Preparing for this Pilgrimage has been interesting to say the least. The most asked question is why are you doing this? I best presented this answer to the 5th grade class at St Mary's Elementary this week. I call it AMPS. An Adventure to take care of my Mental, Physical and Spiritual Health. I challenged my new friends at St Mary's to tell me what their AMPS were when I return in June.
I can tell you I will not be sending a blog everyday but I am sure you will see enough pictures and updates for the next 6 weeks that you will be glad when I finish.
Let the journey begin. In four days I will be a Pilgrim walking the Camino de Santiago. Thank you for your support and most of all encouraging words. I wish each of you were going along ...

My new friends ....
Pack some good sandals!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great start for your adventure!

AMPS. What a great acronym and objective, Nick. Certainly the history of the area adds background and color to the journey. Did Hannibal take the same path through the Pyrenees?
