The Adventures of Two Rangers and a Toddler on the Camino
Just can't wait to get on the road again. Basically all of the lyrics ring true today so thank you Willie and Johnny. Simple and to the heart of it. That's right sports fans we are up back on the way. Despite DBK still not being at 100%, she felt good enough to give it... Continue Reading →
Astorga. 0 km / 0 miles. We had a rest day in Astorga, and, as Guy told Sully, "Mama's back!" I wasn't 100%, but I could walk around and see the sites and order toast from a restaurant. And so we did! We toured the cathedral and the castle, ran errands, played in the park,... Continue Reading →
Leòn to Astorga: 0 km / 0 miles. Today was a little uneventful, so I'll write quickly, and then we have an ask of YOU! We spent the morning in Leòn and then headed to Astorga for two days of rest. I was still down for most of the day. Meaning I literally just laid... Continue Reading →
El Burgo Ranero to Leòn. 0 km / 0 miles. We had decided last night that we would make a go of the day and dutifully set the alarm for 4 AM. It was to be a 23.5 mile day, and the Spanish afternoon sun is brutal. And we find that we all do better... Continue Reading →
Terradillos de los Templarios to El Burgo Ranero: 30.7 km / 19.1 mi As we arrived into El Burgo Ranero this afternoon (our daily destination) we were feeling a bit worn down. Dor is still sick with no signs of improving, we miscalculated some distances which made for a few tough stretches, and it was... Continue Reading →
Carrión de los Condes to Terradillos de los Templarios: 26.7 km / 16.6 mi Today marks our 15th day on the Camino which is officially half way! Such a wonderful thing to be able to set aside daily life - jobs, errands, housework, etc. - to do something like this. One of the reasons that... Continue Reading →
Boadilla del Camino to Carrión de los Condes. 24.6 km / 15.3 miles Today was yet another day that, while we would have certainly made it through, we would not have so easily and gracefully if it were not for the help of our fellow pilgrims and the albergue and restaurant staff. The Camino is... Continue Reading →
Hontanas to Boadilla del Camino: 28.5 km / 17.7 mi Any parent can likely attest to the fact that a vacation with a toddler is classified as a "trip" and not a vacation despite the destination. Vacations are all about reducing stress and time spent drinking fancy umbrella drinks. This of course is a very... Continue Reading →
Burgos to Hontanas. 31.1 km / 19.3 miles. We left the Burgos in our early morning style. Cool and quiet, and somewhat rested after a midnight discussion about how particular Sully is in regards to how and in what fashion we prepare his milk. The Cathedral had an equal yet very different effect as we... Continue Reading →
Belorado to Agés: 27.5 km / 17.1 mi We thought we'd share a few cultural observations or nuances that may differ from our lwe tife in the States. Stores: A supermarket to Spain is a mini-market to the US. Sardines make up roughly 1/4 of what's in said supermarket. Milk is stored warm. Fruit needs... Continue Reading →
