  1. Ted and Nancy, I finally caught up with you by reading all past blogs! What a great travel log, pilgrimage log, picture story! Thank you so much for letting others “join” you in this adventure. I am writing on the blog of this day because the picture of Nancy, from the back, facing the long, hot trail stretching to infinity illuminated for me the task you are living every day. I applaud you both and now that I am caught up, will be with you each day in solidarity. Marsha
