The Pilgrimage of a Lifetime

A pilgrimage involves making one's heart full of desire for a new adventure, for special graces--to praise, petition & give thanks to the Lord. And then returning home we are transformed, renewed and restored by the abundant blessings received.

Finding an internet cafe- Locutorio

So Hannah, Alayna, and Maggie and I headed out to find el Locutorio. Along the way a cute little old woman stopped me to ask me about my cross. See the pic...its a gift from our pilgrim backpacks. Initially when we werent communicating so well she touched it and turned it over to see where it was from. In a beautiful exchange of a mix of English and Spanish she told us how pretty it was. She asked us where we were from and was just so sweet. Definitely the highlight of our day so far.


just fyi, my phone won´t let me order or turn around pictures. i know that´s annoying. so far the computer won´t let me either so...sorry about that!


And it would be super fun if you would sign your comments so we know who you are! =)

    How special Mary. Does this woman live there or just a tourist? She is probably in the photo but it isn't very clear. Love Mom/Josie

    I hope it is not too late to add a special intention. Please pray for Michael Taylor (Mary Taylor's son) He went to school with your sister Cathy. He has cancer of the tonsils. It is going to be not nice treatment. Love Mom
