No activity that directly affects my Camino

The plan was to take my mother and her eldest sister to visit their younger sister today. And so, instead of packing my backpack and tackling another strenuous walk, I packed my car full of old ladies and drove the 100 km or so to my aunt. So pleased I did as it was great to connect with three of the souls who have influenced me most in my life:

My Mother - the one who gave me the gift of life
Aunt Sophie - at 90 an inspirational person who does not consider her own mortality a remote possibility. She stil writes poetry and paints up a storm even though she is unable to walk.
Aunt Het - My mother's younger sister and our second mother

I salute you and I walk with you.

My mother and her sisters: Aunt Soph, My Mom, Aunt Het
