October 1, 2013. Midterm Report

Memorials along The Way. We see many of these pictures, crosses and memories of loved ones of people who have walked the Camino but have died. It's very touching.  

Early morning dew

We see pilgrims with HUGE backpacks on the trail. I don't know how they do it!  I wanted to give them my taxis service card, but I couldn't catch up to them. 

Sam and I are very academic, we decided to post a midterm report card...self assessment. 

Mary's Midterm Pilgrim Report Card:

Works & Plays Well with Others:          A-
Physical Education.                             C
Home Economics. (Bunk area tidy)      A
Reflections (needs improvement)         C-
European History (I read all signs).       B
World Religions (needs improvement)  C
Pilgrim Code & Ethics                          B
Self Discovery 101                               B-

Now that I have discovered how to survive as a Pilgrim on the Camino, I'm hoping that I can devote more time to reflection and answering the question of "Why am I here"  "Is this just a very long walk or a pilgrimage" _____________________________

  1. So what grade did you "give" yourselves? We give an A-...because you abandoned Jade one too many times! She probably has a complex now...feels unwanted. The spider web creeps me out!! How darn big could the spider be with that size web. Dan just informed me the web is not an indication of the size spider...not willing to question that! That big pack covers her ass...so no worry about whether it makes her ass look big! hehehe. Love you both!

  2. Your outstanding blog qualifies as extra credit, raising that A- to an A at minimum. Are all pilgrims so prolific? Besides word on the street is Jade likes being pampered, not unlike her master:)
    Great job! We are proud of you both!
    love,
    Pat and Randy
