Just a short post to promise to resume my regular communications soon. I really need to get internet in our apartment. This little bar is quite smokey and noisy. However, it is a cross section of small-town life in Spain.
We have met pilgrims nearly every day and all want to interview Elyn, who is well known in that small camino world. She was interviewed by a Korean pilgrim this morning. He is walking with an impossibly heavy pack and his wife and daughter. The girl was sick, but the determined Korean pilgrim was impervious his own and his family's pain. He is a theologian who is studying the actual practicalities of the camino. His family is suffering right in front of his eyes and he is blind to their suffering. We are all most blind when looking at ourselves, myself included.

Announcing Elyn's New Book.
This is the official announcement of Elyn's new book: Walking Through Cancer: A Pilgrimage of Gratitude on the Way of St. James. (See front and back cover on the left.) We will be at the annual gathering of American Pilgrims on the Camino March 12-14 in Albuquerque, NM to introduce the book. It is already listed on Amazon and Barnes & Noble online, or you can order a copy from your favorite bookseller. We have spent many hours editing and producing this book and it is a production that we are both proud of.
A special feature of the book are a series of twenty-eight watercolors by local Santa Fe artist, Kate López. The front cover is also one of Katie's works.
