Día 8
A City of Immigrants
6 de septiembre de 2017, Irlanda ⋅ ⛅ 14 °C
I was struck today by the realization that Dublin is as much a city of immigrants as any in Canada. We were guided first by a fellow from Nigeria and then a woman from Latvia, into the arms of Ana, the Brazilian who is our B&B host. Our appetites were sated by lunch at a Hare Krishna eatery and then supper at a Korean fish monger's establishment. Sightseeing was full on Irish though. We toured Dublin Castle, Killmainham Gaol, and Christchurch Cathedral. Walking past the Catholic Church of St. James reminded us of the reason for our journey as it is an official part of the Camino for Irish pilgrims.Leer más

Irish Immersion
9 de septiembre de 2017, España ⋅ ☁️ 16 °C
Dublin is not stuffy despite its stately architecture. Softening touches such as colorful doorways, murals and quotations from famous authors/poets give tourists lots to look at and ponder. But poetry isn't left to the scholars. Locals have fun naming their public art. My favorite was a mermaid statue "The Floozy in the Jacuzzi".Leer más

The Camino Provides
15 de septiembre de 2017, España ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C
What a day! Six pictures just doesn't cover it. Although it was barely 9 AM, we lined up for the Fuente Vino to fill a small water bottle with red wine for our noon meal. Today's alternate route took us through woodlands and agricultural lands reminding us that we came to the Camino for the walking. But aside from that, we found accordion entertainment at a cross roads and an orange juice vendor at another oasis. We've met pilgrims from all over the world, passing and then reconnecting with them at unexpected times. Something familiar in otherwise days of new beginnings.Leer más

Beehives to Ghostowns
17 de septiembre de 2017, España ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C
Our track today lead us through the famous ochre soils of Rioja. Grape vines to the left, olives to the right, most of the way. Rioja provides many picnic sites for its pilgrims as well as a most helpful series of kilometer markers. At one of the earlier picnic sites we saw this beehive shaped structure. Much of the last half of our day followed a country road, newly graded and topped with a mustard colored rock. Just as Dorothy before us, our track lead to a surreal location. Ciruena was built during the boom and more or less abandoned during the down turn. Our albergue is straight out of a psychedelic dream.Leer más

Viajero Different from the beehives in Ireland but similar idea

Viajero Will have to do research on them both, but the Celtic influence is strong throughout this region.

To the Artists
18 de septiembre de 2017, España ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C
I was struck today by how much the early church and present day Camino support the artistic community. Generations of stonemasons and sculptors built the cathedrals we've visited. Painters and stained glass artists colored them. Today, municipalities have put a lot of money into sculptures, murals, logos and all manner of public art to honor the pilgrims. But let's not forget the Chefs whose work may not be as permanent, but just as appreciated!Leer más

Viajero Too bad about the crusades painting but other than that . . . yeah for the support of artists!

Viajero That too is history, dark vs the light, yin vs the yang. Always the struggle, always the opportunity to improve the present.

Walk for the Ages
19 de septiembre de 2017, España ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C
Our walk today started in the mists and continued through oak forests over a pass to a remote monastery. Plenty of time to contemplate and commune with nature. Our destination, Ages, is a quaint little town, alive ONLY because of the pilgrimage.Leer más

How Far We've Come

Our day started near Atapuerca where our earliest ancestors have been unearthed. The Way lead us to Burgos and the Catedral de Santa Maria XIII. The simple to the ornate ... And here we are attempting to return to the basic.Leer más

Tranquillo
21 de septiembre de 2017, España ⋅ ⛅ 24 °C
We've left the bustle of Burgos behind us and opted for a short day - around 20 km rather than 30. The Meseta reminds us of home on the prairies, big skies, sun baked fields, and sparse populations. Far fewer pilgrims meant we had much of the way to ourselves, such a change from the last few days. The rhythm of our poles and the vast horizons lulled me into a much more contemplative mood.Leer más
