Thirteen pilgrims arrived at the Centre in the dead of night after traveling over 24 hours. The four-hour layover in Paris was prolonged by a two-hour flight delay. Finally, they flew to Lyon (only a half hour flight) and were picked up by our friendly chauffeur, Monsieur Jacky. They rolled into the Centre driveway at 945 bedraggled and tired, but their spirits were high.
Betty Granger leads the crowd into the Centre International. Two by two they went up the elevator to their rooms to drop off their luggage. Then they came down to the dining room for a snack of sandwiches, chips, come slaw, soda and, of course, wine.
On Thursday morning they were up for breakfast at 730 and ready to begin at 930. By 1030 they were ready to walk into the old city of Le Puy. Pilgrimage director and guide Carol Crepeau (second from right) leads them forth.
I am so glad to hear you made it safely to the Center. I look forward to reliving the experience with you all! Soak up all the history you can as it enriches your lives forever!!Prayers for your safety!
