I love planning. Using the walking for fun website my husband and I have accumulated 61.8 miles in the past week. We are walking the virtual Camino Francis and do enough miles each day to get to a town with a private room (for social distancing) We planned an extra day in Pamplona pretending we...
My husband John and I will be volunteering for 7 days at Beilari in St Jean pied de port starting May 18. I would love for anyone to stop by and say hello. Also it's a wonderful place to start your Camino, although I have read not everyone enjoys Joseph's efforts to make us feel like Camino...
