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 weather forecast earlier this week called for back-to-back delicious December days: full sunshine with temperatures hitting a mid-afternoon high around 50 degrees. Time to take action and put together a couple of substantial hikes. On the...
Mother Nature has been busy!
