Welcome!

Welcome!



I hope you enjoy following my journey through France and Spain while walking the path of St. James, the pilgrimage road to Santaigo de Compostela.




"Pilgrimage was and is a spiritual exercise in the form of a journey to a place believed to be made holy by a sacred event, or that possesses the relics of a holy person or object."

I´m back!

I had a bit of a time getting access to the internet. My tablet isn´t working so well so I will just use the internet when I can find it. Ok, so what an incredible journey so far, so many nice and helpful people, at times I am totally lost but it all works out. I started the walk at Saint Jean Pied de Port and crossed the Pyrenes (sp), it was a 1450m elevation gain in 20km, quite the hike but very beautiful. Stayed in Roncesvalles that night then moved on to Zubiri where I got an awesome bed, it was about 22km. Today I wanted to walk a little farther from Zubiri and went to Cizar Menor, about 26 km. What a beautiful hike so far and I have many Camino friends already. :) Buen Camino! PS: I´m trying to post images but it´s not in English and I don´t want to erase my card.

    Thanks everyone, such an awesome feeling knowing you are walking with me. I only wish I could post some pictures of this awesome country and the wonderful people. I wasn´t planning on this being a spiritual journey but it is becoming one.
    Buen Camino!
