Dublin Sunday, SJ Monday, Over the top Wenesday. Two weeks ago my wife popped her knee and we have held our breath since, lots of rest and a hard test yesterday up a very steep escarpment outside Belfast and we are good to go, and the weather forcast is good although it looks like it is going to get a lot hotter as we progress, still we could do with a tan.

Great sighs of relief I guess. Enjoy but take it steady. Better to enjoy than suffer consequences.

Buen Camino to you both.
It seems I am two days ahead of tyou.
Leave Los Angeles tomorrow, (Thursday), into SJPdP on Saturday and over the top on Monday.
May knees, feet, toes, hips and backs, ALL stay in fine fettle.
I'll give a listen for that Ulster buzz nd mayhap we'll meet on the way.
Slainte.

I don't tan I just go bright red. As I walk in shorts my two red legs I become recognisable from a great distance. In the Entrance for the Bishops Palace/Cathedral I was startled by a shout from behind of "Don't move Allan, I want to take a picture of those legs to make a poster of them" by someone I had encountered many times along the way.

Buen Camino, wish I was leaving Belfast behind too but its spring next year for me. Two years in a row was my plan but shortly after I got home my wife had a stroke so dont want to leave her for a while yet. Besides, at 65, time seems to fly bye so it will be April 2015 in the blink of an eye. So once again, Buen Camino Rector

Waddabout ye We had two years of that.our daughter had a brain tumour and then my wife's mother had terminal cancer last year. We had booked for the Portuguese two years in a row. So we just decided to do the Francis again and I am 18 months younger than you mate so perhaps there is a wee Portuguese next year.
