You guessed it. That is a St. Christopher medal. My mother, who my father affectionately calls St. Rita, sent it to me for the journey. I agree with what you are thinking as you read this post. “That was so sweet.”
However, the St. Christopher medal has caused a little problem. I tried to attach it to my pack and Abe got very upset. He likes to be top dog and reminded me that he was the greatest President there ever was or ever will be. He also pointed out that it is Abe and Mark on the Camino, not Abe, Mark and St. Christopher on the Camino. I told Abe that we are going to need all the help we can get along the Camino and it would break my mother’s heart if St. Christoper gets left behind. Abe, being the ever wise politician, decided that it would be bad form to disappoint my mother and St. Christopher might come in handy in a pinch. So Abe agreed to let St. Christoper join the expedition.
I hope Abe does not turn out to be a diva on this trip.
Buen Camino
