Anticipation

Saturday, May 3rd,

Departure day was drawing near. Indeed, Encarnita had already left to spend a few days in Granada with her family. We will meet in Madrid on Tuesday, together with Frank and Jean Anne.

Running around organizing a two month absence at the Toronto end, bringing together the material ingredients for our walk, all takes time and energy. I am certain our family in Toronto will be glad when we are both gone.

Looking ahead, I will add a second pilgrim's scallop shell to my collection. Undoubtedly Boris will manage to hitch a ride, thanks to Sara hiding him somewhere in my backpack. Boris has an easy life: well travelled with no need to make an effort.
