I've been singing on the Way from time to time. Right now I have the Carpenters' "Sing a Song" on my Camino sing list.
Last night at an Italian albergue we were treated to a live guitar performanceWeiterlesen

The Fallen

Marita was born 27 years ago on a beautiful summer day in Calgary. This post is dedicated to her.
There are sobering moments on the Camino when you come across a monument or a cross memorializing aWeiterlesen

Place and pace
22. September 2017 in Spanien ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C
The Way, right now, is the PLACE for me. The terrain on the Meseta is remarkably familiar to me -- sun-baked Southern Alberta without the coulees. Mostly flat but at times we hike up and out of aWeiterlesen
Give a Pilgrim a grape ...

and he'll take a cluster.
Pilgrims are a rather unkempt, smelly and disheveled bunch until rejuvenating showers in the late afternoom make us human again. In the big cities we stick out like soreWeiterlesen
Burgos ... oh wow.
20. September 2017 in Spanien ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C
The medieval pilgrim arriving at the jaw - dropping cathedral in Burgos might have been tempted to stay here awhile for surely this was a place where heaven and earth seemed just a little closer. AWeiterlesen
O' Canada, O' Camino ...

Of all the nationalities on the Camino right now, Canada would appear to be over represented. Lotsa Canucks from BC, the Prairies, Ontario and Quebec. Canadians have become the subject of muchWeiterlesen

Always moving .... forward
17. September 2017 in Spanien ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C
Illuminated only by our single headlamp, the trail out of Navarette was spooky this morning at 6:15 AM when we struck off. Once it has risen, the sun is a great guide in the morning as we need only toWeiterlesen
No room at the Inn

Arrived this evening and all the albuerges are full. The town is putting up about 40 pilgrims in a library building which is bring renovated. Only 1 bathroom amongst us all. Looks like a refugee camp.Weiterlesen
Pointing the Way
15. September 2017 in Spanien ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C
It's hard to get lost on the Way. Flechas amarillos -- yellow arrows are always close by to guide you past historic churches, thru tiny villages and hillside trails. When a yellow arrow isn'tWeiterlesen
The Walking Wounded
14. September 2017 in Spanien ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C
We have been told that you walk the Camino with your head not your feet. Lofty sentiments but there is no convincing my two blistered toes and wonky knees that this is true. All manner of pilgrims areWeiterlesen
ReisenderI have just stepped into following the Paul journey. It looks like a beautiful start and now you need to work for the views and experiences. I hope that effort (and pain) makes them even more vibrant and breathtaking. It looks wonderful. Enjoy you 2. Oh A535 might be in order :)
And that's no Bull ...

After a rough trip over the Pyrenees in driving rain and wind, Pamplona was a much needed boost today. In the City where bulls are loosed onto the cobble streets each summer, we enjoyed wondrousWeiterlesen

Classic Dublin

After a day trip and coastal sea walk in Howth we escaped into the pubs of Dublin yesterday to escape a few showers. We listened to live traditional Irish music while quaffing a dark brown GuinnessWeiterlesen

Weighty matters ..

Weight matters when considering what to take on your back for an 800-km pilgrimage across northern Spain. Today was our final pack with a goal of keeping our pack weight to 10% of our body weight.Weiterlesen
Colours of late summer
28. August 2017 in Kanada ⋅ ⛅ 30 °C
I love the vibrant colours of summer right now. Deep blue skies, golden gazanias, bushy green tops on bright orange carrots and red, red tomatoes for sandwiches. Yum.

Bertha Lake training hike under dark blue skies as a light breeze whistled gently thru the tree canopy. Julilla walked with Alex after a second breakfast at the Pearl Cafe in downtown Waterton.
