    LIVE from the Camino Unplugging and enjoying the cruise control

    Enjoyed a nice 19 km walk from Tui to Oporino through the mountains and rivers. As I exited Tui I talked to a local lady who was eager to share her morning walk with a pilgrim. As I stepped out of edge of town I felt like I was trading paved roads and digital maps for dirt paths and yellow...
