A BETTER DAY

7 September 2023, Camino 3, Day 8 Santo Domingo to Belorado I have discovered a new Spanish delight…Grape Bread. It’s very much like a baguette type bread with grapes in it. Not like a zucchini or banana bread, although I found several recipes online for that kind of bread with grapes. I must make someContinue reading “A BETTER DAY”

A WEEK DOWN

6 September 2023, Camino 3, Day 7 Najera to Santo Domingo de la Calzada Today was a difficult day for me. My pack felt heavy and I just didn’t seem to walk as quickly. There can be a real mind game walking the camino. Questions and doubts flooded my mind. However despite those doubts IContinue reading “A WEEK DOWN”

BEING THE BLESSING

4 September 2023, Camino 3, Day 5 Logrono to Navarette Today we gave back. We are walking out of Logrono and a young woman caught our attention and was waving toward her car. We thought she meant to give us a ride and we said no thank you and we would kind of kept onContinue reading “BEING THE BLESSING”

THE LITTLE ENGINE THAT COULD 🚂

Only two more days until we leave to walk the Camino Frances a third time.  I notice that I’m highly aware of every ache, pain, and twinge that my body is feeling.  And I get concerned.  I’ve seen my share of injured pilgrims along the Camino, many of them younger and in better shape thanContinue reading “THE LITTLE ENGINE THAT COULD 🚂”

There’s an old saying, “The best laid plans often go awry”. Or for the more religious minded, “If you want to make God laugh, make plans”. I had planned to re-post all the posts from my first Camino in 2019.  I’m about to embark on my third Camino and I wanted to reflect on theContinue reading “AN UPDATE”

CATCHUP TIME

June 14, 2023 Dear Fellow Pilgrims, I have been writing this blog since early 2019 before I walked my first camino in September/October 2019. Along the way I made a lot of “digital” mistakes, but I have discovered better ways of designing my site, learned how to add pictures, link to other pages, and more.Continue reading “CATCHUP TIME”

RETURNING TO CAMINO

June 6, 2023 Every day I feel as though I am on Camino. I look at the challenges and blessings that come into my life as events that shape who I am. I am grateful for the knowledge that I am still becoming. I have potential and these caminos guide me along a growth path.Continue reading “RETURNING TO CAMINO”

THE RECLINER CAMINO PART 3

Everybody would love a few minutes of relaxation in a recliner in front of a tv. Nobody wants to spend 8 weeks in a recliner bingeing on Hoarders and Gordon Ramsay. This is a story that reminds me that my situation is not the worst and sitting in a recliner for 8 weeks is notContinue reading “THE RECLINER CAMINO PART 3”

THE RECLINER CAMINO PART 2

How to pack for a Recliner Camino For my first camino in 2019 I spent months carefully selecting all the items I thought I would need. Clothes were bought and returned, backpacks tried on, multiple pairs of shoes were tried on from several stores. Gadgets that I’d never heard about were tested out. Glen andContinue reading “THE RECLINER CAMINO PART 2”
