Safe &Sound in Carrion De Los Condes

We just got back from a beautiful mass at a church called Iglesia de Santa Maria (see photos).Beautiful. Built in the mid 1100s. Following mass, a special benediction was given for us Peregrinos (pilgrims). There were about 25 of us. We were asked to give our names and state where we were from. Angie and I were the only Americans. The priest gave us a blessing and two nuns gave us each a little souvenir for the occasion.
This little pueblo in earlier years was controlled by the Romans. Later by moslems.
Tomorrow Angie says she feels like she can make the walk. This will be a 14 mile one. We will take it slow. She is itching to hit the trail again!
Hi Mike and Angie,
Angie, I am so glad that your feet are feeling better. I know you know your limitations so be sure not to push it.
I was looking for photos in this post but don’t see any. Did you attach them.
Love,
Al Gazzilli

Hi Mike and Angie,
This is Mar writing as a response from Al and me. We realize there is a delay in photos now. We are in Cambria with Barb and Frank, a road trip for us as friends, long overdue. Al and I continue to pray for you and Angie on this pilgrimage. We love you and can’t wait to hear of your adventures in person.
Love, Marianne
