Hand made Wall Map to follow along...

Time of past OR future Camino
Several alone and with children
A year ago today I was huffing over the Pyreneese...
I'm slightly embarrassed to share this...BUT several times over the years I see mention of wall maps so loved ones can follow along. I blogged my Camino AND my hubby who stayed behind with our children blogged too. My blog was She Follows Shells, and his was He Who Follows She Who Follows Shells. At the time he stayed behind with our six young children to give me this dream of mine.

This was a Wall Map that he made and it left room for the kids to draw and move the stick figure of me along the path... Here in his blog are where you can see the additions.

We did get the idea on the internet and I wish I could credit the source but have no idea.
The blog will be on of not interest as it is only about him staying behind with the kids and surviving. BUT his map meant the world to me and those with kids or grandkids might enjoy doing this.

Here is the map naked...scroll 1/4 of the way down to see it

Technical backpack for day trips with backpack cover and internal compartment for the hydration bladder. Ideal daypack for excursions where we need a medium capacity backpack. The back with Air Flow System creates large air channels that will keep our back as cool as possible.
