Again this year we visited Dick and Carol Lindman, our good friends who live on beautiful Sanibel Island.
We met Dick on the Camino de Santiago de Compostella in Spain on our very first day in 2010. Our paths kept crossing throughout the pilgrimage and we struck up a friendship. Not having obtained his contact information, I subsequently found him and Carol using Google, having remembered he was a pastor based in NW Arkansas.
Since then we have visited Dick and Carol in Arkansas, Arnprior, Connecticut and now Sanibel twice. They are a lovely couple and we enjoy catching up with each other on family and spiritual related matters. When Dick and Carol came to Arnprior in 2012, they payed a visit to the Galilee Centre with us to discuss our Camino pilgrimage experiences.
This year was no different. We visited Dick and Carol in their beautiful home 2 blocks from the beach. We then enjoyed a delicious sea food meal at Traders before saying bye for now again. Truly blessed to have you as our friends.
A few pics to tell the story better.
