Follow My Journey
The Camino de Santiago is a 500-mile pilgrimage route across Spain. Follow along as I blog about my journey – both as I prepare (until April 2019) and walk (April – May, 2019)
The road less traveled
April 10, Day 6: Estella to Los Arcos (22 km, 13.6 miles) Trying something a bit different: sitting on a park bench to at least begin this description of today's journey. Beginning to write at 6:00 pm rather than at 10:00! Awkward because It's chilly, even in winter...

Snowball fight anyone?

That’s me in the photo. (You probably guessed that.) Midwesterner through and through. I was born and raised in…. Well, if you care about all that, check out my (in)complete bio here. For now, know that I am spending many hours on wooded trails of several counties adjacent to my home in Bloomington, Indiana as I prepare to head off, on foot, on a 500-mile, centuries-old pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela in NW Spain come spring of 2019. “Come with me” as I reflect on my training and then on my experiences as a peregrina (pilgrim).
