Made it as far as Los Arcos this morning. Got what may be the last 2 bunks at Albergue Abuela. Resting for the afternoon and then looking at ideas / intentions for tomorrow.
2 quick highlights from today. Hearing the motorcycle races over the hills and feeding the goats and chickens on the...
It has been an adventure. Despite some serious setbacks we have been blessed.
Spent last night in Villatuerta at 643 km . 60 Euro ( or was it 50? ) for a private room. Excellent accomodation even with the book on the history of Cannibalism on the book shelf!
The bar next door provided...
Oh this is looking like a cab day! We too had a rough start to the Camino. We have had 1 planned rest day as well as 2 unplanned due to unforseen circumstances. I don't think I have a tough descent in me today
Oh right. #BonusProTip. Bought feminine hygiene pads for myself for the first time ever. Not because the blisters are bleeding but because NOWHERE WAS OPEN THAT SELLS GAUZE. Excellent cushioning, self sticking and feet smell fresh. Kotex is getting a 5 star Google review later

TL/DR What day is it? Where am I? Where did the arrows go? WHERE IS MY PASSPORT ( See LBs post ) . Really, $20 knock off sandals and $4 socks could lead to blisters?

We are able / happy to pay a little more if we need to, ok...
We are ON THE WAY!
TL:DR
Get comfortable with being uncomfortable. The Camino provides. Stumbles quickly turn into amazing leaps. If you are thinking of giving up take a rest for a few minutes / hours / days and regroup.
What a Journey already!
Arrived in Paris at 7 am. Found the metro...
Though not part of the air miles I suspect we will be spending the $s to splurge on the Parador in Leon as my wife and I have talked about that one every since watching The Way with Martin Sheen
We start our Camino Sept 06 from SJPP!
I have 10 000+ Air Miles reward miles to use on our trip and am looking to hear folks favourite accommodation splurges along this route.
Sadly Parador de Leon is not an air miles but partner but we may pony up for a stay here anyway
We are planning on...
Which Albergue has the most beds? I swore I saw a youtube video that said a particular albergue with 600 beds but my daughter tells me im crazy and there is no way there is one larger than 200 beds 😀
