Lucky Friday the 13th

(Bobbie: So, today is our thirteenth day of walking the path, and it's also Friday. This made us superstitious because we feel that luck and good times have been following us around throughout the trip.


  • It rained for a month before we arrived and pretty much stopped our second day out on the trail and is now nothing but sunshine and very warm weather. 
  • We've been sending our bags ahead by taxi each day. Not because we're lazy, but because this is how the cool walkers do it. All the long distance walkers do it, we're told. Anyway! We were sure that at some point our bags wouldn't show up at our hotel one day after a long walk, and today it almost happened. But, because we are blessed, they were only hiding in the cellar for safekeeping until our arrival.
  • Last night was the first night we shared a double bed because there were none available at that small town hotel. Upon arrival at our hotel today Mom asked for a cot for our room because she didn't want to sleep in a double bed with me, again. I think I must have kicked her last night. We had a small argument at reception about who would get the cot (I swear I was insisting she take the bed!), and due to our smelliness after a long walk on the trail, and due to our luck, and due to the angel of the hotel manager's taking pity on us, we were given two double rooms for the price of one. Someone's getting a bottle of wine.
  • Then, on the way in to Henley, we ran into two spinoni on the path. It's the same breed as my dog, who I miss very much. The luck just keeps coming).

This is Clyde and some other English sounding name.
