Pilgrim in a skirt

When I told my boss at Caterpillar that John and I were making a pilgrimage, he smiled and said, “So are you getting some zip-off hiking pants? With lots of pockets?"  

Horrors.  

Classic pilgrim attire...I'm close!  

He knew me well enough to realize how that thought would make me panic. 

I don’t wear pants.

I like the way my 7 year old grandson Charlie puts it, "Ning, have you always been fancy?"

But for this pilgrimage, I found the perfect walking outfits– even if I do look a little strange. 

John says he’s sure people are thinking, “What’s that guy doing walking with a nun…?”
