      Stormy weather

      19 Mei, Spanyol ⋅ ☁️ 61 °F

      Today we are officially one week in the Camino, walking around 135km, and it was an adventure. We left the Casa Magical albergi behind early for an action packed 25 k walk to Los arcos with Trina, Kathy from Atlanta and our Dutch friend Fred from Netherlands.

       It was a beautiful day with lovely weather until we got the last 8 km in an open stretch with no services, water, homes or protection. Just vineyards, Olive groves, a wine fountain, an artist camp, farmland and wilderness, all beautiful, exept our approach leading us closer to the ominous storm clouds containing thunder and lightning.

      As we walked through the fields of wheat, barley, and wildflowers, we scoped out ditches to duck in of needed. We didn't touch the metal on our treking poles. We kept walking because there was no other choice, really. We made it to the town of Los Arcos around 7 pm, soaking wet, 40,000 steps later. As we arrived a man warmed us if the danger "pericola!" Before is... the city Streets were fenced off for the running of the bulls in the for their fiesta tonight around 8pm.

      We were soaked and cold and wanted to get through to find a bar to call a taxi. I looked at our map app and it would be a 40 minute walk to our hotel. No way. We decided to watch for a while, bulls were a symbol I was looking for on the way and here they are stopping is in our tracks.

      I had a beer in my pack we bought 4 hours ago. We shared it in my old metal cup I brought to drink rosado from the famous bodegas Irache wine fountain earlier on our route today.

      We hid behind the fence with a group of local senoritas dressed in red and white and watched the festivities of bulls and boys running and jumping over the fence for a bit, then called the hotel for transport. Another 10 minute walk to get to that. Progress.

      As we arrived we were deliriously laughing. We didn't know we were staying in a truck stop outside of town near the highway. Well at least we could get a hot shower, put up our feet and not sleep with a dorm room full of other Pilgrims.

       This surprise destination feels like luxury after our long day, complete with a loaded convenience store filled with jamon Ruffles, candy bars and $5 bottles of vino tinto. Plus a bar restaurant where we had a not so great dinner, but happy to have it. I'm not sure how they gather a 3 star ranking, but it is clean and friendly and convenient... if you are in a car. A Camino, not so much.

      So grateful for a place to rest and not be struck by lightning today or trampled by bulls. Today was not the day for that.

      Life is good! 🐂♉🐂      Baca selengkapnya

      D7-Puente la Reina to Estella

      20 Mei, Spanyol ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C

      We left Puente La Reina this morning looking back at the Historical bridge over the River Arga. Apparently the bridge was built for pilgrims in the 11th century. We take a right following the yellow arrows up along past the River Arga and then we start our climb upwards, there is good views back over Puente La Reina from up top. We stop at Mañeru for our first coffee of the day. We then continue and pass vineyards, olive trees and many wild flowers, the countryside is just so beautiful. The next village we go through is Cirauqui with its narrow cobbled streets and what a climb it was to get to the top. The church of San Roman stands at the highest point. We then make our way down the other side and make our way towards Estella. We stop at the village of Lorca for coffee and eat our picnic lunch (ham and cheese roll). We carried on to Estella, registered at Albergue Municipal de Perigrinos, showered then went out exploring. We picked up some pasta meals at the supermarket and had dinner at the Albergue.Baca selengkapnya

      Day 9 Over kneebreaker mountain to Viana

      15 Mei, Spanyol ⋅ ☁️ 43 °F

      Kneebreaker was not that bad! And the temperature when we started out this morning was 62 degrees, so it was a beautiful hiking day. We hiked past olive trees, almond trees, grape vines. We are staying in an apartment tonight in Viena with Stacie and Caroline from Canada, who we met our second day on the Camino.Baca selengkapnya

      D8- Estella to Los Arcos

      21 Mei, Spanyol ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C

      We left our Albergue this morning through the streets of Estella and passed the amazing old church Iglesia de San Miguel. It is believed the church dates back to the 12th century. A few kms out from Estella we come to the Fuente del Vino where pilgrims can fill their shells with wine. We then mistakenly take the alternative route to Luquin which is the high road and less travelled. This route skirts the slopes of Monte Jurra through woodland paths. We eventually pass through the town of Luquin without seeing one local, the only other life we saw was pilgrims. A few more crops and more vineyards today and we still enjoy the wild flowers. A few kms from our destination today we are rewarded with another Camino angel - a mobile coffee and food van, our only refreshment stop today. There were tables and chairs all set out for our weary selves to take a break. Coffee and baguettes all round and we were on our way to Los Arcos. We stayed in the Albergue de Perigrinos “Isaac Santiago”. We were only metres from the town square and spent the afternoon with refreshments at the cafe.Baca selengkapnya

      Day 6 to Los Arcos

      12 Mei, Spanyol ⋅ ☁️ 18 °C

      Easy day
      20km
      Not much happening
      The wine fountain only opens at 9... we were more than an hour early for that... damn... thought we could fill our cups at 8am... nah... clearly too early for drinking!

      Saw Stella on the road... lady from North Africa living in Italy. And Erica & I talked to Philipe - dude from Hamburg... that walks like maniac! And sleeps/camps next to the road... he keeps to himself... till he had a beer... then super loud!! He walked faster than us... he is a nurse and needs a hip replacement 😳

      Also saw Frankie & Patou again... they break my heart... not sure why I feel so sorry for him and his dog... it's not about money or means... just sad...

      So many things about the Camino reminds me of the Comrades... the need to see people finish/succeed....doesn't matter when and how... just not give up... is the same.

      The human race can be so incredibly supportive when needs be... but damn we can be assholes too.      Baca selengkapnya

      I Have Walked 132.6 km in My First Week

      5 September 2022, Spanyol ⋅ ⛅ 77 °F

      This afternoon, arriving in Los Arcos, I realized it is Monday. I have completed one week and 132.6 km on the Camino. “Only” 657.4 km to go!
      I will celebrate the little victories.

      I realize I have met some great people so far and get surprised when others call my name “Kathie the Steelers fan”or “Kathie from Dallas.” As we make it from one “stage” to the next, pilgrims “leapfrog” over one another. I may pass someone walking, who later passes me. And we all get excited the first time we see each other because it could have been days since we saw each other on the trail—we do this even though we know so little about each other.

      I think it is because we have respect for each other. We understand the hard work to get where we are physical, emotional, and spiritual—we are always cheering each other on. This Camino… is a challenge we chose to undertake for so many different reasons.

      I marvel at the Camino stories— “the why” we all have decided to put ourselves through this difficult walk. But another aspect of the “Camino connection” I am discovering is the life individuals share with their brand new Camino friends! I have heard stories of loss, disappointment, excitement, and fear. People just sharing life. I feel so honored to walk with different people every day and hear their hearts as they share their “whys”.

      I am exhausted, hot, and sunburned, but overall it was a very good day! I will go to the Pilgrim’s Mass at 7:15 pm, grab something to eat, and then bedtime.

      Off to Logrono in the morning. I will leave early because it is a longer day than I have had thus far—27.8 km.

      Did I mention how very blessed I feel by our loving God? I do! ✝️❤️
      Good night!      Baca selengkapnya

      Day 5- Lorca to Los Arcos

      10 September 2023, Spanyol ⋅ ☀️ 84 °F

      So the best name for today is …. Survival:)
      Knee is still acting up but tried numerous ways throughout the day to walk in less discomfort. Kept the ibuprofen up as well.
      We started at 545am as we were going to go from Lorca to Los Arcos a 30km(18 miles) walk. last night we had a lot of thunderstorms that dumped a bunch of rain so we knew it was going to be a sloppy day. As it turns out it wasn’t as muddy as I thought it would be but still a lot of puddles and mud to navigate.
      The day started with an uphill section and we got thru it before the sun was up. Sunrise was unremarkable and we were making good time . We joined another group for a bit , a Brit,Canadian, and Australian. Very nice people and we shared experiences, stories and reasons. They stopped for breakfast and we powered in planing on brunch. A bit before our brunch we came upon the famous wine fountain. It was 10 am or so but CJ did sample the wine. I have included a picture of the sign next to it that answers the question of how do you put free wine out?
      BTW their is a typo on the sign so see if you can find it.
      Our designated stopping point was Villlamayor de Monjardin. It sits up on a hill and has the most incredible views that were worth the 600 ft incline we walked to get there. Quaint little shop that makes I guess what you would call a modified baguette panini sandwich. It was divine( pic included in case susan wants to make them in the future:) )
      From that town to Los arcos is basically farmland that has some ups and downs but mostly flat. It was afternoon so a bit hot but a nice breeze. Most of the pics come from that section.
      I did not ponder much today as I was focused on getting the walk completed without any further damage to the knee so let’s just say on was focused on survival today:) I think I was successful with that but will know more in the morning. We are planning a short day tomorrow, about 10 miles , so we shall sleep in a bit tomorrow and hopefully the time will help heal the aches and pains!
      Lastly I did include an animal pic I got today that kind of sums up my pace today!      Baca selengkapnya

      Viva España

      29 Agustus 2023, Spanyol ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C

      Am Morgen die übliche Routine. Kaffee kochen, frühstücken, Ölstand kontrollieren, jetzt auch das Servoöl auffüllen. Dann ging es los für die Aufgaben für den heutigen Tag. Einen Bresso Frischkäse kaufen und das längste Baguette mitbringen.
      Bresso nicht gefunden, am Baguette arbeiten wir noch. Über die Pyrenäen ging es nach Spanien. Leider war das Wetter schlecht und wir hatten keine Sicht auf 1750m Höhe bei 3°C. In Spanien angekommen ging es an Aufgabe Nummer zwei. Das Baguette. Den Teig in einer Mörtelwanne angerührt und mittels Ofenrohr und Lötlampe als Ofen versuchten wir diesen zu backen. Nach 15 min. aus der Traum vom leckeren und längsten Baguette. Die Lötlampe hat den Geist aufgegeben und der Teig geht nun in der Sonne auf.
      Aufgaben verkackt. Kein Mittagessen, keine Punkte. Motivation sinkt. Zum Glück keine Pannen oder Ausfälle.
      Morgen nur fahren und genießen.
      Tachostand 2184 km.      Baca selengkapnya

      Two stages!

      27 September 2023, Spanyol ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C

      I forgot to post yesterday, so I’ll catch up here. Yesterday was a nice walk to Los Arcos for several reasons, despite the heat. One, a couple iconic stops early on; a blacksmith whose father and grandfather were also blacksmiths in that location. He makes small items for sale (photo below) and also larger items, like a gorgeous, dramatic, huge bull. Right after that stop was the famous wine fountain, offering both water and wine for free. A queen endowed this centuries ago, apparently and the government continues out via a local wine maker. Again, see photo!

      Also yesterday was nice because I spent the day walking with Tom. We are both Catholic and had fun geeking out on history of the church, the issue of hell, and best of all, comparing conversion stories. So fascinating!! Made the day (a moderate 21 kilometers ) go more quickly. And just to head you off at the pass, friends and family, Tom is married, so don’t even go there:-)

      Today was a longer day, about 28 kilometers, and we got an earlier start: 6:45. It was cool, dark and lovely. Today has a wonderful breeze too, which seemed to greet us at the top of each rise, like a reward for our efforts. I had more quiet time, and I was glad for it. It was a long walk though, and a nice thing that happens once in a while is that you come around a bend to find someone has set up a little food and rest station. An oasis! That happened today and I include a photo.

      It has been surprising how quickly we connect with people as we walk, and then worry we will lose track when places for. We were both thrilled to see our friend Jun already settled in at the albergue we stopped at today. And again, after David and Olly thought they would stop at the previous town they just messaged that they are here - hooray! Our little world coalesced quickly! Now if we can track Rebecca down we’ll feel complete.      Baca selengkapnya

      Meet The Unexpected!

      6 September 2022, Spanyol ⋅ ⛅ 82 °F

      Today was a long day! The heat was beating down on us while we went from Los Arcos to Logroño. The final 6 km were especially rough because there were no bars or water fountains. I had 3 km left and a little old woman had her house door opened. She was selling water among other luxury items, like iced tea, and bread! She took one look at my overheated face and want to make sure they had me sit and drink water (for 1€ which I gladly paid!)
      After watching the sun come up as we walked, I saw this smoke—I thought it was smoke…it was dust! We were abruptly greeted by about a 100 sheep crossing the road to the pasture. Border Collies working the flock! It really made my morning! I walked 28 km today.      Baca selengkapnya
