[Gocamino] Pilgrims jumping across the meseta?

[Susan Alcorn]

Thanks to Sil for correcting me with great tact and humor regarding the spelling of peregrina/peregrino. I think my mind was confusing Peregrine falcons, pilgrims, pelerin, peregrina, etc. in the same way that I often come up with the wrong language when trying to speak Spanish or French. It did actually come out kind of funny! Susan Alcorn

Hi Susan - I a pelegrina is a spider!!Pilgrims are either peregrina/peregrino (Spanish) or pellegrina/pellegrino (Italian) or pelerin (French).Mind you - a pelegrina is a jumping spider so its not such a bad way to decribe a pilgrim!Hugs,Sil

We in the S.F. Bay Area just had a local gathering, too. Lin Galea organized it; hosted by Rozan and Brad Gautier; presentations by Kathy Gower and Phil Cousineau, and a bit of an opportunity to reconnect with, or meet, some adventurous pilgrims. Beautiful day, beautiful event. Thanks to everyone involved!Buen Camino,Susan Alcorn
