The Adventures of Two Rangers and a Toddler on the Camino
While it will certainly take time to truly recognize and understand the meanings we derive from this pilgrimage, this past day has shed some light on the impact it's had on us. The day was, as you'd imagine after such a trip, one where we moved slow. We treated ourselves to the extra perks that... Continue Reading →
Arzúa to Santiago. 39.4 km / 24.5 miles. They say the Camino provides. And so it does. The morning started out not quite as magical as the others. The skies were a little hazy and the air a little warm. That quickly changed after we noticed my headlamp flickering. This went on for about an... Continue Reading →
Pasal de Rei to Azrúa. 29 km / 18 miles. (Guy pointed out that I was wearing pouty pants yesterday and wanted to be sure I let you know that he ordered me to take them off. And so I did. But I think they were skinny jeans, so it was a bit of a... Continue Reading →
Portomarín to Pasal del Rei. 25.1 km / 15.6 miles. Today is brought to us by the letter M. M is for Morning. The first three hours of the day remain the best. The crisp air, the bright stars, the moonlight seeping in between the trees ... top if off with a fresh strong coffee,... Continue Reading →
Barbadelo to Portomarín: 18 km/ 11.2 mi You may be able to knock us down but there's nothing you can do to stop this train. We're back on the move once again, and we're confident we've found the winning recipe to get us to Santiago. You know which one I'm talking about. The recipe that... Continue Reading →
Sarria to Barbadelo: 3.7 km / 2.8 mi Today was about 2 things. 1st to test the water and see how the leg feels and 2nd, to get back on schedule and finish our last 100 km. We took our time heading out of Sarria and up the steep climb to Barbadelo. Although it seemed... Continue Reading →
Sarria. 0 km / 0 miles. It amazes me how our surroundings can change everything. I am sure there are technical explanations, but I tend to think it is mostly just energy. We could only book one night at the place last night, so today we had to move. We walked two blocks up and... Continue Reading →
Villafranca del Bierzo to Sarria. 0 km / 0 miles. After 30 minutes of taping, failing, and retaping my ankle this morning, I looked around the tape-ridden half-packed room and said what I already knew, that I was in no condition to walk. It was not a conversation either of us wanted to have. It... Continue Reading →
Ponferrada to Villafranca del Bierzo. 24.3 km / 15.1 miles. We left the city and headed for the countryside once again today. With only fifteen miles in front of us, we took lots of breaks and soaked in the lush rolling hills of the valley. Looks to be the beginning of harvesting time in the... Continue Reading →
