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)
If only you’d been with me…
Day 37, Sunday, May 19: Finisterre to Lires + to Lires' beach (21.1 km, 13.1 miles) Yes, if only you'd been with me today! You would have talked with a little snail casting a large shadow as she made her way down the trail, brave little thing... some roosters...

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).
