Upon finishing a most excellent lunch of lentils and rice, a monk arrived with a note from Father Rose saying he would like to speak to me before I continued on. I was escorted out of the mess hall and then down a long corridor to a small work shop wherein an old man (looking for all the world like Rasputin) sat painting an Iconic Image of Saint Demetrius. The monk who accompanied me spoke. "Father Rose... this is the man you requested we bring to you!" "Yes, yes my son, I am Father Rose." I told him it was nice to meet him and I thanked him for lunch and the blessing of my bike. "You are most welcome my son!" "And now, I will ask a favor of you." He reached into a drawer and produced a miniature statue of a saintly looking woman and handed it to me. "I understand that you are making your way west, over to the coast." "Will you carry this statue to our monastery in the Fortuna area for me?" It is a representation of Our Lady Of Fatima, the monastery sits atop Table Bluff on the coast."
