<BR>
<BR>I have been thinking of you while you were walking. I am sorry you had to
<BR>cut your pilgrimage short. However, ti sounds like you are reconciled to
<BR>that and that's a great thing! It just gives you another excuse to go again
<BR>- soon!
<BR>
<BR>Welcome home. Do feel free to share your feelings as you acclamate to being
<BR>home. It's still an ongoing process for me and I've been home since June
<BR>26th!
<BR>
<BR>You are right about the training advice. Have your feet healed? How about
<BR>your son's achilles tendon?
<BR>
<BR>I empathize with your struggle with the heat. Although I walked in May,
<BR>there was an unseasonable heat wave (104 plus) while we were approaching the
<BR>meseta. Fortunately it didn't last but a week. For everyone traveling in
<BR>July and August - ugh!
<BR>
<BR>Take care of yourself and again, welcome home pilgrim!
<BR>
<BR>Blessings,
<BR>Gabrielle</FONT></HTML>
