Lugo- 7th day out

Last night we ate at a restaurant of glass overlooking a spectacular view. The waiter was great at charades and very good natured. We met a delightful couple from Wales that were riding a Harley across Spain! They were obviously still sweethearts, extremely proud of family and country… She even sang Celtic songs for us… Beautiful!
The countryside today was cold, wet, and lovely. We arrived in lugo and went to st Mary’s cathedral where Bryce made a friend and we received a personal tour. The cathedral holds sacred a “lignum Crucis” a piece of wood belonging to the cross where Jesus was crucified. We were able to touch and say a prayer… It was very emotional for me to see Bryce stand and pray at the cross… Literally.. Another memory of a lifetime. We are now sitting in a cafe in the square discussing how this pilgrim’s existence kind of seeps into your soul and becomes a way of life. It will be very hard to give this up…

  3. When I survey the wondrous cross
    On which the Prince of glory died,
    My richest gain I count but loss,
    And pour contempt on all my pride.
    Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast,
    Save in the death of Christ my God!
    All the vain things that charm me most,
    I sacrifice them to His blood.
    See from His head, His hands, His feet,
    Sorrow and love flow mingled down!
    Did e’er such love and sorrow meet,
    Or thorns compose so rich a crown?
    Were the whole realm of nature mine,
    That were a present far too small;
    Love so amazing, so divine,
    Demands my soul, my life, my all.
