Today I’ve been working on my packing for our upcoming Camino…and I’ve been in a bit of a panic. The first Camino was a challenge because I’d never walked one before and I didn’t know what to bring for six weeks of walking. It took a lot research, talking to others who had walked one,Continue reading “POSTCARDS FROM ME”

THE PRE PRE CAMINO
Monday, August 28, 2023 We arrived in Paris on Saturday, August 26 for three nights. We’re visiting with my cousin; she is quite elderly. Whenever I’m in Europe I make a point to go and visit her. When we’re on the same side of the Atlantic it’s practically like being in the same neighborhood. TomorrowContinue reading “THE PRE PRE CAMINO”
AN UPDATE
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 1
I have been thinking about friends I met on the Camino and remembering how many of them sustained injuries. Ankles, knees, backs, all have fallen prey to falls, over use, improper footwear, and more. I think about this because I tripped on a sidewalk and fractured my right knee and my left wrist. my husbandContinue reading “THE RECLINER CAMINO PART 1”
WHO DO YOU SAY THAT I AM?
13 Now when Jesus came into the district of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?” 14 And they said, “Some say John the Baptist, but others Elijah, and still others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” 15 He said to them, “But who do you say that IContinue reading “WHO DO YOU SAY THAT I AM?”
UKRAINE 🇺🇦
I am a news and politics junkie. I love nothing better than an energetic discussion about what’s going on in the world. Having said that I don’t share my political views (at least I hope I don’t) in this blog. Having said that I believe I must comment on what is happening in Ukraine. IContinue reading “UKRAINE 🇺🇦”
BURGOS
Burgos, 6 September 2021 How does one describe a good day? I think it’s easy to describe it from the inside out. I successfully taped my foot and it feels better. I had a lovely breakfast of cafe con leche and a pastry made with a flakey crust and dark chocolate on the bottom. IContinue reading “BURGOS”
WHAT’S THE DATE AGAIN?
August 31, 2021 Navarette I’m back on track with this camino after being ill for two days and taking two days to visit Bilbao. Today was a short day, only 8.5 miles and mostly flat with a few climbs. I feel good. I went to the Church of Our Lady of the Assumption in Navarette.Continue reading “WHAT’S THE DATE AGAIN?”
One day I decided to go for a walk...
