Day 2 Long and winding road!

This morning we departed a wee bit later & the sky was blue & the sun was shining. We prayed Midday Prayer sitting by the well of St Francis opposite the church of San Salvador praying for the people of San Salvador & giving thanks for Oscar Romero and all the martyrs for their inspiration.

As we meandered on our journey to Pandella on the this increasingly LONG and WINDING ROAD we were glad to avail of the odd water font as the sun got stronger and stronger.

Spontaneous singing  and praising God evolved in the group from " Walk with me o my Lord " where certain  lyrics seemed very apt.....e.g. ' stones often bar my path ' and ' sometimes the road seems long my energy is spent' and we still had another hour to go to cover exactly the same distance as yesterday in temperature of early 30's , We also tried a bit of harmonising with Taize chants and thankfully we didn't encounter too many locals as it was a public holiday in the region!
