Hello from Viana … (09/28/08)
“Made it into Viana and was wondering along the way — Who is this walking? … up and down and around mountains every day eight hours a day; Who is this sleeping? … 100,20,10,4 pilgrims in two and sometimes three-tier bunk-beds; Who is this praying? … in abandoned monasteries where thousands have prayed, where the water still bubbles up from a fountain covered in moss and limestone formations. I am asking these questions because somehow I seem like someone else at times. Today I found shade under a young olive tree, got lost and then was rescued by two Spainards who were picking figs from a single tree in a pasture … The Camino continues.” ~ Suzanna Alexander
