Walking for days and days and days on end has surprisingly few drawbacks, but the inevitable HAS to happen eventually. The last two days have been rain. A lot of rain. Cold rain... We left our little pod albergue and started off pretty well. For starters we knew that it was going to be a... Continue Reading →

Today...was wet. Like, 24 kms in pouring rain kind of wet. We left in the morning with high hopes and no clue where we were going. The first chunk of our walk was rain and hail for 17 kms with no towns, or places to stop. We've been using an app to track our camino... Continue Reading →

Welp, this one ought to be a longer one. I've been tasked with catching us up, so catch us up I most certainly will. We woke up to rain. This wasn't a big deal. What was a big deal was the wind. The wind was horrific, and we walked up a mountain that pretty much... Continue Reading →

Ola friends and fam-Jam! We’ve had a super consistent two days, back to back. One characterized by bright sunshine and a bit of a burn …. The other was packed with rain. Buen Camino! We left Burgos after a good nights sleep and a strong coffee. I’ll never get tired of how the Spanish serve... Continue Reading →

Note - Becky originally wrote this post on Easter Monday, but we had poor wifi connectivity. Posting now - another coming shortly. Sorry for the confusion Fam!! Hi everyone! Happy Easter Monday! Blake and I made it to Burgos …. Which means somehow, somewhere we missed a day on the blog. time seems to flow... Continue Reading →

We were both up pretty early this morning. Becky woke me up around 630, and we had a lovely breakfast. We had to prepare the night before because Breakfast most mornings is Yogurt and Muesli, the Muesli bag being somewhere between fireworks and a jackhammer on the noise scale at 630 am. But our Muesli... Continue Reading →

Vamoosed from the haunted museum fronting as a BNB early in the morning - and we weren’t too sad to say goodbye. Seriously - the place looked straight out of an Anne Rice novel and I’m pretty sure our room had poltergeist. Heebie-Jeebes. Looked like the Addams family playroom. Blake and I returned to the...

We left Logroño and Becky drew up the next few days' route. She made some crack about how 800m was less than a kilometer, as if I didn't know that, and so I have been playing dumb and asking whether every distance we see is more or less than a kilometer. It's the little things... Continue Reading →

This morning we woke up to my blood sugar hitting the floor. This is my reckoning. I have to re-learn my diabetes. Both of us have coca cola and candy on us at all times but yesterday wasn't fun for me because I just couldn't keep my sugar up. For that reason, we decided that... Continue Reading →

Wait - what day is it? We’re losing track. The wine fountain we passed probably didn’t help us track any better. Yes - that’s right. A wine fountain. Maintained by Benedictine Monks - it’s loaded with 100 L of wine daily, and provided to pilgrims along the trail. That’s how we started our walk on... Continue Reading →
