Day 9 - Trust the Plan

I am often reminded that I am not in control. Although someone I once knew had a saying - if you are not in control, you are out of control. And, if you are out of control, you are not in control. He was massively always in control, until he wasn’t. May he rest in peace.

Who actually believed I would simply Uber to the next town to attend mass? And not walk The Camino.

God has a way of reminding me to trust! It was an hour walk to mass this morning. I had late breakfast at 9 and headed out. 30 minutes into my walk, I happened upon The Camino. So, I decided to forego mass and stay on the camino for the day. The Camino took me directly past the church just after mass started. Of course, I stopped in - prayed for everyone and got communion. After mass, a festival started with a procession through traffic. What a great way to start the day.

The Camino took me through beautiful countryside and over foothills to Conteixa Nova, which is known for Roman ruins. Of course, I had to finish off the day with an Italian meal - a place with a 4.9 rating! The pizza was magnificent, and the pasta was even better. Homemade Italian sausage hit the spot.

Met several pilgrims today - Mark, Mark and Cathy from Canada. I loved Marks hat - it was red with white lettering saying Canada is not for sale! Hah! We criss crossed paths all day, taking breaks along The Way. I met a fellow pilgrim - Rachel - who booked through Tee Travel and pretty much has the same itinerary up porto. She is traveling with Tammy but is on separate itineraries with differing stopovers. It is good to see a familiar face after a long day of walking/hiking.

What is it with those chemtrails? I could literally see them forming into clouds.Читать далее
