We’re off to Portugal on Wednesday for our next pilgrimage adventure. Rich and I are walking the Lisbon to Porto section of the Portuguese Central route to Santiago as a “30th anniversary Camino” or caminho, as it is spelled in Portuguese.
My left foot snuck into my photo (in the uncropped version) as if to remind me of the trauma it suffered in 2017.
At any rate, I have been anticipating this trip for several years and I am super excited to be off soon.
Sad news, though, on the home front. Our beloved black lab mix Bella who has been our family member for over 13.5 years is not doing well. We have decided we need to say our goodbyes and let her go to her peace. My son Tristan is flying home Tuesday night so that we can surround Bella with the love of the whole family. So hard to lose all of our beloved family pets that the kids grew up.
So it will be with a sad heart that we set off on Wednesday but we will know that Bella is not suffering.
