10 September 2023, camino 3, Day 11 Cabala de Juarros to Burgos I love Burgos. When I was here two years ago I found an excellent restaurant. It was so good that I had lunch there on my first day and since I had a rest day I went back for dinner. A beef stewContinue reading “NO BREAKFAST MAKES FOR A TOUGH DAY”

THE LITTLE ENGINE THAT COULD đźš‚
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 đźš‚”
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.

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”
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”
A SOLUTION FOR COVID*
For more than two years the world has been battling the Covid epidemic. It seems like we’ve been chanting a mantra (or several mantras) that go(es) something like this… In two weeks this will be over. All we have to do is flatten the curve. There can’t possibly be another variant. When can I travelContinue reading “A SOLUTION FOR COVID*”
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?”
