The Way of St. Francis May 8, 2026 Monteleone to Poggio Moiano Miles walked 8.42 I tried to keep my days on the shorter side because walking through this part of Italy is mountainous. So the walks are shorter but the effort is greater. Yesterday would have been a great day to walk, but IContinue reading “A GOOD DAY WALKING DESPITE GETTING LOST”

DO I WATCH TOO MUCH TRUE CRIME?
The Way of St. Francis May 7, 2026 Reiti to Monteleone Miles walked 3.64 Sometimes I really believe that I watch too much true crime. Let me tell you how the day unfolded and you can let me know what you think. My B&B for tonight messaged to say that they had a plumbing problemContinue reading “DO I WATCH TOO MUCH TRUE CRIME?”
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 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?

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 🇺🇦”
ASH WEDNESDAY
January 20, 2022 Ash Wednesday falls on my birthday this year. Usually it falls during Lent. I know because for a long time I gave up chocolate for Lent and my family would buy me the best chocolate cake to celebrate. I would generously give huge pieces out at my birthday dinner and then carefullyContinue reading “ASH WEDNESDAY”
WHERE THE RUBBER MEETS THE CAMINO
Sahagun, September 16, 2021 That’s a pretty whimsical title compared to how I’m feeling today. Sahagun is the geographic halfway point on the camino de Santiago. I’m under the 400 km mark and the road is pretty flat. I should be taking the camino by storm by now. And yet I don’t think I am.Continue reading “WHERE THE RUBBER MEETS THE CAMINO”
ANOTHER BROKEN POT
Burgos, 7 September 2021 I like visiting museums, mostly art museums. My favorite is to see an exhibit by one artist or of one genre of art. In this way I learn about that artist or style of art. This morning I went to the museum of Burgos which is all about the history ofContinue reading “ANOTHER BROKEN POT”
