Early this morning we got hugs from Lou and from Megan as they each headed out to their professional realms. For a couple of hours we stayed coccooned in the apartment giving rush hour traffic a chance to calm. Later in the morning we made our way to Cupertino and a short visit with Gigi’s weekend host before we hitched her up to hit the trail. Chuck offered us some home grown apples to take with us as we make our way south. Now as we travel US-101 we’re noticing the El Camino Real markers, a mission bell atop a Franciscan walking crook. We learned that this highway was once a primitive road connecting the missions established in the 1700s by Jesuits and Franciscians under the auspices of the Spanish Crown.
Winter Magic in Medina
By deliberate choice we were in Medina for all the winter holiday festivities from Candlelight Walk in the days before Thanksgiving through A Christmas Carol and A Celtic Christmas as well as an Alex Bevan Concert and a historic house tour all the way through Medina’s 31st Ice Festival but perhaps the highlight was the town hosting hundreds of folks whose homes and lives were devasted by Hurricane Helene at the A Promise of Christmas Event the middle of January. It’s an honor to be a part of this amazing community!
