Karen is heading to France!

More specifically I left Sitka on schedule on Sunday, March 27. After a Seattle overnight I arrived in DC this afternoon (March 28). Tomorrow afternoon (March 29) I depart for JFK and then on to Paris arriving 6:45 am Wednesday the 30th.
I had great plans to post photos of trails I hiked near Sitka as part of my training. I was going to post general photos of Sitka for anyone who has never been there. I was going to post photos of the apartment that I will be renting upon my return in July. I have photos on my camera of two fellow Sitka pilgrims wishing me Buon Camino Sunday morning and another shot of me getting ready to go through security at the Sitka airport that I could have posted.
Instead I am typing this post late at night on my iPhone from Brother Bruce's house in Virginia!
I have no idea what Internet access will be like in France but will try to keep you updated even if it is just a couple of paragraphs like tonight.
Anyone reading this is either a friend or family. Thanks for all your support and encouragement - from going on walks with me to technical and logistical support to simple expressions of "I wish I could go with you."
