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)
So many lessons learned (and so many more waiting to be learned)
Day 11, April 15: Santo Domingo de la Calzada to Belorado (24.38 km, 15 miles) So... here it is the morning of the 16th. Almost 7:00 am. Perhaps you noticed that I did not post last night. I was so busy (and exhausted!) from the lessons I learned yesterday that I...
Holy Week begins

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).
