Writing Sunday from Paris which we reached yesterday. Two days ago we were walking the beautiful coast from Guemes to Santander, wearing rain gear against fitful showers. Photos above show a bit of post-Camino collapse in Santander.

We took the bus back from Santander to Bilbao that same day because there were no flights to Paris out of Santander. We had an early morning flight on Friday out of Bilbao through Barcelona. With a two hour flight connection delay, that was a long travel day, but we were still able to go to Mass in Paris yesterday evening. It turned out that we unknowingly attended a pre-Vatican II mass, in which the priest kept his back to the congregation most of the time. Ed recognised some of the Latin, but not me. So our trip not only involved traveling through different countries, but also back in time to the 1950’s!

Thanks for reading our blog and accompanying us in our thoughts and hearts in this Camino. God willing, we’ll be back in the US Wednesday night.
