Taylors Return to Camino!

Hi Pelegrnos!  The Taylor’s are off again for a short trek around the Pyrenees. We arrive in St. John Pied de Port on Sunday the 19th and will leave via Pamplona late the next  Friday to get back to two grandchildren who live in Belgium. It is hard to describe how the Camino “speaks” to us. We have diligently trained about four days a week this year by walking four miles a day with our packs.  We are swimmers so we swim at least one extra or two extra days, too.  But all of it …all the conversation drifts back to Spain and the walk. It isn’t “magic” to us.  I think it is more of a Sabbath.  Sabbath is for rest and we don’t rest our bodies but our minds and souls and spirits rest in this deep way.  We, who are best friends and have been married 50 years this year, find that we pay attention to each other’s needs and wants in a slower, deeper way.  We collapse together. Solve problems together. Find God in every yellow arrow and the fellow pilgrims and each other. Sooooo, if you want a short walk with us…you can follow!

Buen Camino
