Day 19 – Life on the Camino

Drugs are the best! A few days ago “Hector” the author of the book titled, “Hector.  The Path Taken”  about his journey on the Camino with his youngest son, introduced me to the wonderful world of Ibuprofen! My ankles no longer hurt...

Day 18

The Meseta is complete! We finished the official “Meseta” portion of the Camino as we walked into the big city of Leon on Saturday. Although I knew we would make it, it almost felt like we would never get there.  My Dad has been walking quicker and farther than...

Day 17

Hola!! Today (Friday) we made our way another 18km and got to Mansilla de las Mulas. Tomorrow, we will be making our way into the big city of Leon!  We had a pretty good and steady walk. I let substantially later than my Dad and we met up at a cafe for lunch....

Day 16

Hello! Today we completed 18km (I’m pretty sure) and got to get another small village called El Burgo Ranero. Today was a relatively tough day for us both. My Dad and I were both feeling quite exhausted, and he even commented on how much slower I seemed to be. Which,...

Day 15

Hello! What a lovely day we had! My Dad and I made the decision to take today (Wednesday) as a much needed rest day. The day before really wiped us out, and with all my blisters, we thought it best to take a day to relax our bodies.  We got to enjoy breakfast at...

Day 14

Hi all! We have officially walk 2 full weeks on the Camino, what a journey it has been!  We walked a wild 23km (unintentionally). We thought it was just under 20km but clearly we were wrong. The morning started off great, having coffee with friends after about...

Day 13

Hi friends! Today we did 17km and had a great time! We left as per usual, and anticipated that for this 17km the only thing we would pass is a food truck. So my Dad set out early and I left an hour or so later. On my way to catch up with Dad I had to cross a...

Day 12

Happy Sunday, everyone!!  Hello and welcome back. Today was a long day. We did 20km, both leaving at 7am. We got to see the most beautiful sunrise, and we met some lovely new friends! 2 men from the US, and a married couple from Canada! The couple actually lives...

Day 11

Hello dear friends!!  It’s been heating up in Spain and we are definitely feeling it. Friday – Sunday are all 26 degree days. Today we had a pretty “simple” walk that was very flat and straight forward, which we certainly needed. We walked 14km today which...

Day 10

Holaaaa!  Day 10 – we can’t believe it. This is such a weird feeling because I feel like we were just starting Camino #1 yesterday. Yet it also feels like we’ve been walking for so much longer than 10 days. This is such a cool experience. You really come to...
