    Porto to Baiona follow along

    We had a baggage service so our packs were just day gear and snacks, so after carrying them (folded up) all day the first day, we left them in the suitcase. I think the only place where they might have been necessary/helpful was the descent down into Baiona on the last day. In my opinion on...

    Thoughts on “Santiago - the Camino within”

    I asked my wife to accompany me for "date night" and thought it would be inspirational for us since our first Camino will be from Porto in June. I have never in my life left a movie early...until last night. The only redeeming factor was that it was so bad that as soon as we got out of the...
