12-02-19 Sunday 56 days – St. Leo the Great church and 3 meals in one day.

Leaving out fo Ft. Boggy and heading into Centerville, Tx for Church. only about 4 miles away.

Lots of rolling hills out this way.

The time traveled is a little misleading as you spend most of the time going up hill, seemingly taking forever, and no time going down hill.  In the end you got where your going and you see more of the country going up hill.

St Leo the Great church in Centerville, Tx. What a wonderfull parish.

The youth of the congregation with babies and young children was refreshing and reminded me of when I was young and there were all this young kids in church.

Fr Lowery From Tyler, Tx.

The priest is  actually from Tyler, Tx. In speaking with him I said I had only met one other priest from the USA last year in Albuquerque, New Mexico who was from Fort Worth.  Fr. Lowery knew Fr. Fernandez from St Thomas Aquinas   they had been seminary classmates.  It is a small world and we certainly are not in charge.

A pretty Texas scene, stopped here to dry out the stuff in one of my Pannier, that got filled with water when the top blew open the other night.

Didn’t get a photo of tonight camp spot – Pulled the road onto an oil tank farm service road and pushed into some post oak tree area to find a nice spot.  Only about 31 miles on the day.

The Three meals today were Pancakes at the Town restaurant waiting for church to open, Tacos sold after Mass at St Leo the Great church, and then a little Taco Restaurant Buffalo, Texas.  food expense for two restaurant meal and one church meal was 15 bucks.
