Sharon You'll be walking past my farm then, if you're on the GR65 at Cajarc! Call in for a coffee. No robos here ..."just me and them there chickens"!!!

Noelene Dear Jim, oh how I love your writings... thank you dear Jim for your insights and your fairness and your compassion and your love of all humankind...and your ability to clearly see the wrongs we constantly do to those who are oppressed. Love Noelene

Paul O’Brien Hi Father Jim, I connected to your blog via the Marist newsletter. You may remember me from my years teaching at Woodlawn when you were Provincial. My wife and I walked the Chemin du Puy to Figeac in 2016, and are returning this April to continue through to St Jean Pied de Port. We walked the Spanish Camino in 2014 and have also walked the Way of St Francis in Italy. Your blog is wonderful, and your walking is inspirational to one ten years younger......we have a few years left to walk!! Your writing is both thought provoking and challenging.

Nancy Buggy Thank you Jim for your thought provoking words.

Susan Biggs Thank you for the opportunity to be part of the journey, albeit in a cheering on the sidelines kind of way! Have a good trip home and see you in 2018. Love from luscious Colombia

Nancy Thank you Jim for sharing your journey with honesty and for your very informative description of where you went. Congratulations for achieving what sounded a more difficult Camino than your first, especially a few years older!

Trish Gallagher wellcome home Jim - very much looking forward to catching up next week - just make sure you have shed Daisy's nasty germs

james biggs Have a safe trip home Jim. Thanks for letting us be part of your adventure. Lots of things to discuss when you are back. Best wishes, Jim

Wendy Dixon Bon Voyage, dear Jim. Though this astonishing adventure is closing, I know many more will be in your future. You're an adventures-with-God kind of guy, even if the adventure is praying from a bed looking at the ceiling!

Steve Sailah Thanks again Jim for a final, engrossing, entertaining tale. There are plenty of other complimentary adjectives I could use to describe the blogs of your adventures. It's been a pleasure and a privilege to follow you. See you at breakfast soon.

Ro Definitely come home - we love your tales but miss your smiling face on our morning walks! This Monday morning I shared your garden with a flock of brilliantly white cockatoos and I cut some of your viburnum hedge - thank you - tomorrow I am arranging flowers for a Wednesday funeral. Thankfully our gardens received a little rain over the weekend. Best wishes Ro

Patricia Murphy Delightful anecdotes Jim - the cows have the right idea!

Steve Sailah Don't come home, Jim, I'm having too much fun reading your missives

Tony Kennedy It costs more than 50 cents in some other places in Lyon. Glad to see you did the walk to Chapelle La Sallette.
