20 May Via Franca going West...

What a beautiful Morning, no clouds, no snow just good old sunshine.   We decided to take the high road to O'cebreir ... what we did not realize is that the first two miles was like walking up the Washington Monument.  The reward was greater than the pain and once one could get his breath and heart rate under control the scenes and mountains again provided natures entertainment.   Mr Cuckoo Bird arrived on schedule as we passed over the summit.   The cherry orchards were in blossom , the grape vines doubling in growth since we first saw them in Northern Spain.  God was really at work bringing in Spring.  We descended to the bottom of the valley about half way through the walk and followed the river the remainder of the walk.  You will see from my photos today that this really was a walk in the park.

I wanted to share with the Spirit of the Camino as provided by the American Pilgrims on the Camino Association.

LIVE IN THE MOMENT

WELCOME EACH DAY  ITS PLEASURES AND ITS CHALLENGES

MAKE OTHERS FEEL WELCOME 

SHARE

FEEL THE SPIRIT OF THOSE WHO HAVE GONE BEFORE YOU 

IMAGINE THOE WHO WILL FOLLOW YOU

APPRECIATE THOSE WHO WALK WITH YOU TODAY


These are good thoughts for everyday...

On we go...   best to all soon Santiago....
