Burgos or bust!
I learned another important lesson from the Camino this morning, friends. Today's lesson is to have patience and trust that you will be rewarded at the end of a difficult, long, hard process. If I had written this blog post at noon instead of 11:30 pm, the overall narrative would have been very different. I... Continue Reading →
Never fear, I’m still here!
... but WordPress will only upload photos with strong Wi-Fi -- something I haven't had since Belorado. It doesn't matter that I was literally standing under a cell tower last night; WordPress is only happy on Wi-Fi no matter how many bars your phone has (can you hear me now?). I'm currently on the outskirts... Continue Reading →
To Atapuerca
(Written yesterday, 18 April, but posted late due to Wi-Fi issues. Not all of the photos are uploaded properly here but I'm working on it. Sorry!) I think I got my mojo back! In early January when I was first working on hard planning for this trip, I had no real concept of kilometers or... Continue Reading →
Belorado
This is a lovely little town. I wish I had been staying in a place closer to the center (my room in the albergue is on the dirt road leading into town). I ordered a pilgrims meal in a restaurant that was delicious and much healthier than the others I've had: wonderful salad and curry... Continue Reading →

Remember to share the link to the one woman walk-a-thon with all of your circles. I'm really hoping to reach $5,000 before I reach Santiago. Thanks... Continue Reading →
To Belorado
I'm not numbering the posts by day anymore, mainly because I have no idea what day it is. How long have I been away from home now? I can't even remember. London and Saint Jean feel like a month ago, but I know that's not right. I keep telling myself "last week"... So I realize... Continue Reading →
Life on the Camino once the sun comes out…
You know you're getting sweaty when you even have to wash your coin purse. YUCK!
Taking foot care into my own hands
Alrighty. When I was in a pharmacy last night trying to buy more blister care stuff, an older woman asked me how long I had the blisters. When she heard it had only been 24 hours but they were horrendous, and that I left from Saint Jean, she said I must have done something to... Continue Reading →
