Weather, Walking, Wonderings (Part II)

While the East Coast is experiencing almost summer-like weather, here in central Idaho it’s cool and sometimes, snowy. 

Once the snow cleared out on Saturday, the weather on Sunday was crisp and sunny and perfect for a training walk.

To get ready to walk the Camino, I need to step up my walking. And I need to break in my new walking shoes. And I need to figure out how to use the walking poles. Sunday was a training day.

This time I walked to the next town over. And here’s how you know you’ve made it to town:

That's about everything in Keuterville, except for the Pub & Grub.

One of the sisters offered to meet me there for a beer and a ride back to the monastery before she realized the timing wasn’t going to work for her, so I did the 7-mile walk – no pub visit this time – on my own.

You can take a look at the Keuterville Pub & Grub on Trip Advisor. It gets an excellent rating and is, in fact, the #1 restaurant in the town. 

These next few days at the monastery will be very busy since it’s Holy Week. It’s also a holy time for Hindus (Hanuman Jayantihindu), Buddhists (Theravadin Mew Year), Jews (Passover), and Christians (Easter). If you are one of these or none of these, I wish you the same blessings offered to me by my friends, Jonathan and Martha:

§  peace,

§  love,

§  observance,

§  down time,

§  excitement,

§  boredom,

§  long walks in & talks with nature,

§  new friends,

§  hearty food,

§  REST,

§  confirming and alarming experiences,
and more PEACE!
