In May 2010, we will walk for three weeks on the Camino de Santiago, the path that has existed since the early middle ages...I see the walk from St Jean Pied de Port through the Pyrenees and Galicia to Santiago de Compostela as a journey of adjustment and acceptance, the transition from one period in our life to another. I don't imagine that it will be easy but I anticipate that it will us time to think, to process, to locate the resilience in our souls and the compassion in our hearts.

The girls' father, Felipe Rodriguez Svensson comes from the country near Santiago and we will be walking both for him, and to him, as he deteriorates physically because of the disease, multiple sclerosis. We hope the walk will raise awareness about, and money for research into MS.

It is something Felipe and I always talked about doing when the children were old enough.
