I am flying to Porto, Portugal today. My plan is to walk the Camino Portuguese Coastal and the Camino Portuguese Central. I am going to walk slow and take my time. My return flight is scheduled for June 15.
I couldn’t sleep last night so I got up early and went to the gym. As I was walking out of the locker room on my way home I ran into Father Paul, a priest at Risen Christ, my neighborhood Catholic Church. In the past, before I depart to walk a Camino I always get a blessing from one of the parish priests. This time I forgot to get my blessing. I stopped Father Paul and explained my unblessed dilemma and asked him to give me a blessing. He obliged so I am now fully blessed and ready to tackle the Camino.
After I left the gym I decided I needed to put the belt and suspenders on so I stopped by the church and attended the 8:30 Mass and prayed for God to help me along the Way.
It looks like we are starting to board our flight to Newark where we will take a connecting flight to Porto.
For those of you who followed my previous blogs you know that when I use the word “we”in this blog I am referring to the three Musketeers, Abe Lincoln, St. Christopher and yours truly.
Next post will be from Porto, Portugal.
Signing off from Denver International Airport.
