KEEPING FAITH AND HANG IN THERE
The next morning I caught a bus to the city of Buga, pilgrimage site of the crucifix that miraculously floated up to an indegenios woman washing clothes in the river and grew in size.
It is housed in the basilica, where I attended the noon service and had Heidi’s crucifix and Larissa’s St. Christopher medallion blessed. It is nice to travel with these reminders that I do not travel alone and to help me follow God’s path.
I called Marie to wish her a happy birthday, it was nice to chat until we got cut off. Speaking of sisters, I bought this stuffed monkey and another for Lisa at the Rainforest Cafe in Galveston. I brought Mi Miko along and he is a great travel companion, always has a smile, never complains and likes to hang out. So we walked around town a bit to find some places for Mi Miko to hang out.
The Schwiet Life 
You crack me up! You sound like Tom Hanks in cast away. Miko is one lucky friend to be there with you right now. And keep in mind psalm 91. Hugs
