...and not much time on the computer at the moment, but just to say I've gotten here on a glorious sunny day after dawdling just a tad in gorgeous Umbria and other parts of the Italian interior - all those medieval hilltop villages that didn't make any guidebooks because they're too difficult to reach and cannot accommodate cars or busses - well, I passed through dozens of them following quiet old roads as much as possible, crossing olive groves with families out pruning and picnicking... a start contrast to when I arrived for Easter on my first long walk: 2 weeks of cold pouring rain then...
...more soon
thanks everyone who helped and encouraged me during these last four and a half months.
.....this pilgrimage is over, sad but inevitable, but I anticipate spending my 'off-season' helping and guiding other pilgrims wherever they may want to go, and when the weather cools in autumn, I'll surely start off again... where to - eh? I think I'll visit our friends to the north and walk from Denver to the Basilica of Ste Anne de Beaupré in Quebec, Canada's impressive pilgrim destination.

Honestly, I hadn't checked in here for a while...it's Good Friday, and I thought, "Where's our Winter Pilgrim these days?.
Rome!
Happy, blessed Triduum & Easter.

I truly like to reading your post. Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a nice information.
Dear Anna - Blessing from the Colorado Ukrainian Language MeetUp group--we'd love to hear from you!! It's June already so I've no idea where little feet may have taken you by now...we miss you, come and do a program for us here in Denver! Be safe!
Congratulations! I arrived in Jerusalem a week or so after you finished walking, in time for the Orthodox Holy Week.
I'll be watching your progress come autumn -- I'm in the Toronto area, and would love to meet up with you.
