I know I complained about taking pictures of great landscapes yesterday but I have one to share again today. This is a pretty little town we went through and I liked the woman’s bright blue pants against the dirt path, but mostly I love the blue of the sky. The weather has been amazing. OnContinue reading “DAY 7”

DAY 6 TWO REFLECTIONS
So I have been pondering two thoughts today on the Camino. The first has to do with aptitude tests. Ok, you’re thinking “that sounds weird”. Well here’s my thought. I was taking a picture of an incredible view… And I was so disappointed. It just didn’t capture all that I was seeing. I remembered thoseContinue reading “DAY 6 TWO REFLECTIONS”
Day 5
Huarte to Pamplona today. Because Huarte is off the Camino we had to walk through an industrial area. Not so pretty but soon we came to a secondary Camino route which is a beautiful park. On the outskirts of Pamplona we came to the original Camino route. Today has been easier because it has beenContinue reading “Day 5”
DAY 4 THE CAMINO WILL PROVIDE
“The Camino will provide” is one of the phrases most often heard especially when someone expresses a worry about something. I have two stories from today about how the Camino provides. Today we walked from Zubiri to Huarte, about 12 miles. We had planned to stop in a little town at about mile #6, butContinue reading “DAY 4 THE CAMINO WILL PROVIDE”
DAY 4 WHO IS ROSINNA DE VERONA
Today I came across a black metal cross with a gold plaque that said End of the Camino Rosinna de Verona I didn’t take a picture because it seemed too sacred. I wonder who was Rosinna and why was she on the Camino. Did she die of some long lingering disease? Did she have aContinue reading “DAY 4 WHO IS ROSINNA DE VERONA”
DAY 3 LATER
So after the debacle of the ugly Americans I had the occasion to hear what others from different countries had to say and it was not a flattering account of our country. Nonetheless it’s over, done, and perhaps grace will prevail. Today’s journey was again difficult, but not as difficult. We left France and crossedContinue reading “DAY 3 LATER”
DAY 3
Morning Today I caught my first glimpse of the not-so-elusive species…the ugly American. The coffee machine wasn’t working and these women wanted their ☕️! I’m sure the waitress’ English was better than their apparent non-existent Spanish, but she was alone serving about 70 hikers speaking at least 10 different languages in 2 dining rooms. ANDContinue reading “DAY 3”
DAY 2 CLIMB EVERY MOUNTAIN
Climb every mountain, Ford every stream, Follow every rainbow, ‘Till you find your dream. Climb Every Mountain from The Sound of Music Today was the second day for climbing mountains. The altitude gain was the same as yesterday, but at a lower grade. But make no mistake, it was up and it was continuously up.Continue reading “DAY 2 CLIMB EVERY MOUNTAIN”
DAY 1…AND SO IT BEGINS
I don’t know if I’ll make it, But watch how good I fake it. It’s alright, alright, tonight, tonight Hot Chelle Rae, 2011 So none of the 10 plagues happened today and I did make it to our first stop Orisson. It was only 5.5 miles and I don’t have the exact elevation but myContinue reading “DAY 1…AND SO IT BEGINS”
AVOIR COURAGE, AVOIR COEUR
There are two sayings in French…ok, definitely a lot more than just two sayings, but I’m just contemplating these two… Avoir courage Avoir coeur Now you might think that the first saying means to be brave and the second to have heart, and you would be incorrect. The French in their linguistic logic have theContinue reading “AVOIR COURAGE, AVOIR COEUR”
One day I decided to go for a walk...
