David is still having problems getting things uploaded to the blog. So here are this weeks photos. He told me an amazing story from his time in Ponferrada – while visiting the Templar Palace he and members of his “group of six” saw people setting up speakers and a movie screen in the middle of the palace. On their way out they saw a poster on the wall – all in Spanish and were standing around trying to figure out what it said they started to talking to a man standing there. It ended up being the director/writer of the premier movie that was going to be showing at 10pm. The movie is supposed to reveal the secret of the Templar Knights. It was an exclusive showing but after talking a while the director/writer asked David if he would like to attend… but a pilgrim usually goes to bed by 9:30pm so staying up would inhibit their getting an early start in the morning. David ended up declining but his main reason is that the movie was in Spanish so “the would not understand the secret even when it was revealed”.  🙂

Hi all, this is Christi again. I am going to add the photos David has sent me via WhatsApp. He has been having a great time – meeting lots of people and exchanging stories, enjoying Spanish Martinis, guitar concerts in 16th century churches, wine tasting in 9th century cellars, and battling blisters and tendinitis in his shins.
