I'm back!

We had a great weekend in St. Louis. Even got walking in- the botanical gardens and the downtown streets of St. L. The upper-respiratory crud is improving and this mornings walk was in the 50's!!!! My new boots are awesome and I can't wait to put them down on Spanish soil!! Reminder to my fellow pilgrims- the only thing you can't buy or replace in Spain is your passport; so those of us traveling to chicago can't forget it.
This final week will be busy with things to do, family and friends to visit with,clothes to wash, meals to prepare (not in my case-Geo perfers I have minimal food in frig and he'll shop and cook when he needs to- God I love him!!)and in Marian and rich's case possibly batten-down-the-hatches!!! Relax, don't push or overdo the walking- we will take each day as it comes and as a group decide our plans for it. See you next Tues.!!!!!!!!
