So far so good. My flight from Champaign was even early, so I was able to hop on my last preemption conference call for a while. Very good stuff going on, specifically a lawsuit challengingЧитать далее

After an interrupted 11hours of sound sleep, and upon some sensible reflection, I decided it would be really silly to walk 38 km on my first day. I enjoy those distances, but probably not on the firstЧитать далее

The Spanish Civil War is one of those wars that is wrapped in mystique — it is still the subject of public debate, and a lot of its wounds are still close to the surface. As the last city in SpainЧитать далее
ПутешественникThat looks fascinating Laurie. My parents are going to Almeria next week - I'll encourage them to visit it.

Only 24 km today but it was a long day. Not sure what made it so hard, but there were a couple of killer descents. And the landscape is pretty punishing.
We arrived at our destination in time for aЧитать далее

This was a 29 km walk but it was a LONG 29 km walk. We left at 8 after a leisurely breakfast and then after 3 km had a very steep but very invigorating ascent. Of course that was followed by a veryЧитать далее

Yesterday in Abla, my two buddies and I decided that a 20 km walk was likely too short. So we planned an alternative. If we felt good after 20 km we would continue on another 15 km to this little townЧитать далее

Today’s walk was very nice. 28 km, a few ups and downs but nothing really strenuous. The landscape has become much less desert-like, with green fields and almond groves.
But it was overall one ofЧитать далее

This was one of those perfect camino days, except for the 3 km slog on asphalt at the end and getting lost for a half hour or so. Almost all off road, trails up and down through pine forests,Читать далее

mary louise adamsDana - the green fleece is how I will recognize her!
