    Third times a charm

    In June of 2020 I will return. I cycled in 2013 by myself and walked with my wife in 2016. The 3rd time will be special as my granddaughter is walking with me. I hope she enjoys it as much as I have.

    Hi Eric. My wife and I ran into you at a cafe outside of Santiago and chatted for a few minutes. I'm glad you enjoyed the Camino and are back home safely. Fellow Texan..... David

    I loved the rocky drop, but people appeared frustrated behind us non rock stepping and little balance kind of people who took it slow. Be patient folks you'll get there.

    Santiago Airport-trekking poles and checked bags

    A little off topic, but last week flying back to Madrid from Santiago, my wife forgot to place the three pocket knives we purchased in checked bag. Security caught them, but allowed her to take on the plane. I was shocked, but I guess it is at their discretion.

    Oh, that's the plastic sheeting you wear for 5 days over it instead of Vaseline or Neosporene. It took him about 3 hours in all. Blacklines in Santiago.

    Look Around You!

    We just returned home. I was surprised at how many people treated their day as a race with head down, moving forward. It seemed to me that my snail pace walking was a blessing sometimes. On the same note, when my wife stops for a break, she likes to hang out for awhile. I would get anxiety...
