    Rest day: Leon or Astorga

    I took a rest day in Burgos on a Sunday and most things were closed except for the Cathedral. I booked a room and basically either walked around town or sat in my room. So when I found myself in Leon on a Sunday, too, I decided to spend one night, tour the cathedral in the morning, and begin...

    Walk for my birthday or go a month earlier

    I celebrated my birthday on the Camino this past March and the small group of pilgrims at the albergue (none of whom I had met before that night) and the hospitalero in Mansilla de Las Mulas serendipitously threw a party for me! It was my favorite birthday yet. Whenever you go will be the...

    How to spot me!

    "]I'm seriously thinking about attaching these to my backpack. :p Whenever I’m walking in Mountain Lion country, I wear something that looks like eyes on the back of my head. Since Mountain Lions attack from behind, it confuses them and keeps me safe! Buen Camino!

    Physical Recovery

    Starting camino 5th March

    And now leave SJPDP on Wednesday. As I sit in Atlanta awaiting a later flight that delays me another day, I am remembering the Wise Ones who say the Camino provides exactly what we need. So, I’m trusting this is “exactly what I need”! Buen Camino!

    Starting camino 5th March

    I am starting on the 5th as well. I arrive in St. Jean on Sunday and plan to head out on Monday. I’m staying in a hotel on Sunday night— my last luxury! I leave the U.S. tomorrow (Saturday) and fly into Paris, then Biarritz, and will take the train to St. Jean. I hope our paths will cross. Buen...
