The Way of St. Francis May 1, 2026 Monteluco to Scheggino Miles walked 13.13 miles There’s a French song I learned as a little girl and it’s been in my head all day in a good way.

A QUIET DAY ON THE WAY
The Way of St. Francis April 29, 2026 Clitunno to Spoleto Miles walked 12.47 Because the town is so high above the city it is also above the Way of St. Francis path. My friend has injured her leg so she is taking a taxi to Spoleto. I’m riding along the roughly 2 miles beforeContinue reading “A QUIET DAY ON THE WAY”
LOOK, A PRIEST!
The way of St. Francis Foligno to Trevi April 27, 2026 Miles walked 9.78 miles Today was a long walk out of Foligno along a main street. I came to a place with a little church but the doors were locked. This is a big difference between the Camino Frances, and the Camino Portugues &Continue reading “LOOK, A PRIEST!”
GREAT EXPECTATIONS
I’ve been preparing myself for walking the Camino Portuguese mostly by taking walks, reading memoirs, and working out at the gym. Last week I added something else. I returned to a Five Day Academy for Spiritual Formation to prepare my spirit for this walk. On my first Camino in 2019 I had no idea whatContinue reading “GREAT EXPECTATIONS”
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”
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 🚂”
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”
One day I decided to go for a walk...
