It Is Only With the Heart That ……..

By Dr. Evelyn Higgins | Published: April 17, 2010
I had no internet yesterday so was unable to write, but the pain along with the beauty continues. When I arrived in the village of Viana I went to the bar, which is where everything goes on and you can find out whatever it is that you need to know.  While having a cafe con leche, [...]

What a way to wake up; a rising crescendo of chanting and incense burning all in the settting of a dimly lit Monastery.  It was time to rise and shine and start a new day.  The Monks are incredible hosts.  I left the Monastery with a view of a bright crescent moon over the Chapel as I [...]

Greetings! What an incredible journey to date…….so much to write…so little time!  When there is more time to write in detail I certainly will.  The travel was not without life´s  unforeseeable problems.  A train strike in France made for great uncertainty of arriving in Bayonne, France to get the bus to St. Jean Pied De Port, [...]
