This weekend has been filled with final preparations for our trip next week to Saint Jean and the beginning of our pilgrimage. On Sunday, we received our first blessing from Father Dye at our home parish of Mary Our Queen. Fr. Dye, who recently had returned from his own Camino, was very enthusiastic about our going and asked that we pray for the parish when we arrive in Santiago.
Today, we went into the north Georgia mountains for a short hike to test our packs and shoes. Caroline and Irene joined us for a walk along the Amicalola River. Except for the spring rain shower everything went well and we met our friends the Priedes for a fantastic BBQ lunch. The rest of this week will be spent with final details till we pack up and head to the airport.
