Keep that pot warm sister! I am stretching my wings and gonna fly in this decade of my 50's coming up! What a sweet and kind person you are to offer lodging and time to explore your beautiful country Helen! You also have a place in the heartland (Kansas) of the US to stay and visit and drink some coffee (and sun tea). I'll take you to some prairie places, where the buffalo roam! (ps I am going to make the copper Koru into a necklace, I just love it and what it stands for!) Bless You

Apparently the pilgrims used to use little sundials to tell the time - I bought a replica of one of these when I went to Les Baux de Provence (near Arles, which is on one of the pilgrimage routes). I have a few photos of the sundial here in my treasures folder I want to share with you (and anyone else who's interested):
http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/turehu2/my_photos
(One side has latitude and that spins round, and the middle bit flips out and has roman numerals for the time)
I even saw two gentlemen making the pilgrimage when I was in Lourdes and felt immmense respect for them, as they headed towards the Pyrenees. It is a real soul-searching journey and certainly a beautiful place - you would not regret making the effort getting there! Don't forget Provence has fields of lavender, olive groves, beautiful tablecloths and pottery, bouillabaise and santons! So if you do go, start your journey to Compostela there!
Oh, yes, and you should go to New Zealand as well!! I should be back in my homeland by then and you can come and stay with me as well!

HI and Welcome Debby! Your sundial treasure is beautiful! Your post gave me the chills! How joyful to have been to Lourdes, which is the starting place I would prefer when walking the Camino! Oh Debby I would love to visit Provence! I have many books on it...and it is one of the places on earth I want to experience before I push up daisies! Provence is a pull for me, as well as the Camino and Stonehenge in Salisbury! I would love to hear more from you on your travels to Provence, the food, the people, the smells, the herbs and flowers on and on! Have you ever been to Aachen, Germany? That is another sacred mystical place that draws me in. I have chatted with bubblesnz (Helen) about NZ and that is one country that is spectacular in it's beauty. Now that you will be moving back there I will know two people to visit! Helen is on the North Island. Her place is lovely and so pristine. Your other treasures from travel are so cool! I especially loved the girl and wheelbarrow from Rome, and the Kiwi bird and nestling, and the shrine from Slovenia! Thanks for sharing your treasures and the information on the Compostela! I look forward to hearing more of your world travels! Jenny from Kansas
