Möge der Lademarathonspaß beginnen...

Die erste Säule in Arrando ist jedenfalls defekt. 😕

Daher mussten wir 3 km weiter fahren. Diese Ladesäule war dagegen völlig unkompliziert und konnte sogar deutsch. 😄Read more

Aranda de Duero
April 25 in Spain ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C
Heute ging es ausschließlich Onroad vom Isabena Camping gen Westen nach Aranda de Duero in Kastilien/Leon. Bei super ausgebauten Landstraßen waren die 450km kein Problem mit den T7. Nachdem wir im Hotel Alisi eingecheckt hatten sind wir auf kurzem Fußweg in die Altstadt. Bißchen bummeln bei 25 Grad, Tourbier und gegrillten Sepia gegessen 🤗Read more

Dialysis in Aranda de Duero
June 22 in Spain ⋅ ⛅ 79 °F

Dialysis went without a hitch. Thank you God! (Not a well-run facility but they got fluid off and that’s the important thing.)

Not much in the way of pictures—dinner last night at a Domino’s-like place (looks like it will be the same tonight) and leftovers in bed to make a joke for Mom/Nancy.

After dialysis we took a bus back to Burgos then hunted and pecked our way back onto the Camino. We settled for a hotel on the outskirts of town as it seemed unlikely we could make the next waypoint at a decent time, and no guarantee of a room once there.

We’ll try to do better with pictures tomorrow.

Thank you all for your prayers for dialysis today! They were answered and we are on schedule.Read more

Day 20
A Lot of Quit…
June 21 in Spain ⋅ ☁️ 79 °F
For those giving me credit for this grand adventure, I would like to play my cards face up and tell you: there is a lot of quit in me. Not just for the Camino, but for most things.

I have been blessed in my life to have people close to me (my father, my wife, and now Sean) who have a lot of endurance in them. And when partnered with them and/or encouraged by them I am able to go much further than I would have on my own.

In that way, Sean continues to be a blessing on the Camino. In my heart I must quit many times each day (particularly on long hills!). So far, I have been able to keep going at least one more time than I have quit!

This last week my body has been steadily getting weaker. We’ll see how tomorrow’s dialysis changes things. Hopefully for the better because we have a string of likely dialysis appointments, fairly frequent, from now through July 7.

Please pray that all of these dialysis appointments work out! Thank you.Read more
Traveler Praying!! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Traveler Probably good that I did not walk the Camino with you. I am a big fat quitter...in some areas. Glad you have Sean there & Nancy's support too. And my support. I am cheering you on & so thankful you are including others in your pilgrimage with updates & stunning pictures...of God's creation & man's 🌻 Buen Camino

Progress
June 22 in Spain ⋅ ⛅ 59 °F
Sitting in dialysis in Aranda del Duero, and taking stock of our progress so far.

Converting kilometers to miles, the Camino is roughly 484.3 miles long, point-to-point with no deviations (including second breakfast!). So far, we have covered 177.5 of those miles, but subtracting a taxi ride and a bus ride—and not counting deviations for dialysis—we have walked 141.3 miles.

No wonder some of those hills seemed impossibly long!

Again, my Fitbit is giving us credit for many more miles, some of which is accurate (dialysis diversions, going out of the way for a meal, et cetera), but most of which is simply too much credit for my baby steps when traversing uneven and/or loose terrain (especially on ascents and descents).

That puts us at 36% of the entire Camino Frances (St. Jean Pied de Port to Santiago Compostel) or just over one-third of the way.Read more
Traveler Wow!! That’s amazing!! What an accomplishment !! 🎉🎉🎉

Traveler ‘Sitting in dialysis in Aranda Del Duero…’. People halfway around the world are working to keep you alive with technology I can’t begin to understand, literally cleansing your blood. While you and Sean put one foot in front of another, the most basic, ancient way to travel. The contrast is astounding.
