We have made a few decisions in the past week. Between the difficulty of finding accommodation, the lack of cafes and groceries in smaller towns where we stay, having to carry several days of food and the need to be back to see family at the end of May…we are skipping 150 kms to go to the village just before Le Puy en Valei. We want to walk into Le Puy.

While working on a project about pilgrimage a fiend and I decided to write our own definition. None of the ones we found fit for us. Our definition: “A journey of thoughtful intention with an unknown outcome.” For me this fits our pilgrimage so well.

While we have enjoyed the journey thus far, and learned a lot especially about ourselves. We want to experience the Chemin/Camino from Le Puy to Saint Jean Pied de Port and from there to Santiago de Compostela. This is very important to us!

Some may think we have copped out or are cheating but we don’t feel that way at all. Each to their own opinion. We hope some day to come back and finish the last 150 kms. But only time will tell…we have a thoughtful intention but we know that things happen to change plans.

Regardless we are grateful every day to have this experience and that you have chosen to come along with us. Also a big thank you to the contributions to our gofundme for cancer research.

May you begin this day with a thoughtful intention and see where the day takes you on your pilgrimage today and tomorrow.
