End of a long flight, settled into apartments, phone transfers, grocery shopping, out for dinner, preparation for tomorrow’s ENG school visit. We are all dragging but we lost one to a quick nap and decided to quietly gather around for this fun photo before we all tucked in. Good night from Nepal

Fragile???
Apparently their idea of fragile and our idea of fragile were a bit different?

Note to Students
So tonight I would like you to practice mindfulness in the midst of getting ready. Pay attention to the details of the world we are privileged to live in; your bed, your water, your electricity and all that means, your safety, your hot water ( unlimited) …. the list goes on and on. You will not be the same when you return from Nepal in the nicest of ways. You will not see the world as you do tonight. You will be more thankful, more aware, more compassionate.
NEPAL EARTHQUAKES 2015
I am blessed to go participate in disaster relief following the earthquakes. The plan is to fly June 1, in 2 weeks. I am gathering supplies and working my way through the long list of things necessary to travel. Thought I would open the blog and start to document this journey.
Almost Time
I am packed with bags by the door to leave after church in the morning. I have three fifty pound bags, a carry on, and a back pack. Only minimal clothes but lots of materials for the children in Nepal. A huge thank you goes out to every individual and group that contributed to the scholarship of a girl. I look forward to sharing this adventure with everyone!

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…
SET!!!
Today was amazing… Mike got some work done again today with his project here this morning.. Has more meetings later: first phase finished! By afternoon we headed to a festival and then on for a truly unforgettable afternoon with family and friends in the mountains surrounding oviedo. The meal was traditional foods of bean soups, vegetable stew, homemade breads, goat( yes! And it was amazing!) beef, potatoes, rice pudding, various pastries, and local wines. The setting was surreal and the Spanish chatter and interpretations abundant! What an amazing send off for our journey! Thank you! We got back in the city in time to have our pilgrim credentials stamped at the cathedral so we start with a blessing in the morning and begin walking. First destination.., Grado… Approx 18 miles!
