I’m getting on a train this morning to Agen, France and then I’ll catch a bus to Auch where I am meeting a woman from England that I’ll be walking with for the first couple of weeks. I don’t expect to have Internet for a while once I start walking on Sunday, but I wanted to leave you with something.

Here is a portrait that my good friend Robin did for a class; the assignment was to capture people ‘in their element.’ (She has a blog too! Click on RobinBotie.com to have a look. She’s about ready to send her memoir to publishers, so every ‘hit’ helps!)
