Day 6: Camino Day 2

Tony: We left this morning from Camponaraya on our way to Villafranca. We walked through a lot of beautiful countryside. My dark nemesis, the hills, were back. It seemed like we were always going up. I swear there were the hills for every down! Hannah and the baby did...

Camino Round 3 – Starting Tomorrow!

Hello family and friends! I can’t believe I am sitting here writing to you about how we leave for the Camino TOMORROW. However, I am writing this so late at night that by the time you read it we will be on our way to Spain! We have a drive before we fly, and fly...

Day 25

Hello! Thanks for bearing with me as I catch up on posts and update you all on the most recent happenings on the Camino.  On Saturday I walked 27km, and my Dad got a taxi ahead to El Acebo. He decided that because his knee didn’t feel any better it was not worth...

Day 24

Hello dear friends! Today (Friday), my Dad wanted to try and walk, so that he did! He sent his pack ahead to the hostel we would be at, and off we went. It was an 11km day, and he made it! However, probably not the wisest decision. He was in a fair amount of pain, and...

Day 23

Hello dear friends! Todays update is a little different. Unfortunately Dad’s knee has not improved and he could barely walk in the morning. It was very obvious we wouldn’t be walking that day, so we got a taxi to the hospital. We were able to get in very quickly, and...
