Hello Fellow Pilgrims:
Just 48 hours to go and I am off. I fly from Chicago USA to Paris on Saturday, and tragically have to spend the day in museums in Paris before flying to Bayonne in the evening. After a Monday (13th) train to SJPD I should be taking my first steps around noon that day. I go with an open heart and mind and a spirit ready to be impacted in ways I cannot predict. As for the body, intend to honor its strength and its limits, and pace myself, but I know many a pilgrim has mis-calculated what they are capable of. If any of you are likely to overlap any portion with me, look for a beard-stubble guy with a beige Canadian "Tilly" i.e. broad brimmed hat. I will probably also be singing, so keep those ear plugs handy :arrow: .
Blessings to all,
Bill
