The Walk, 2014

In the fall of 2013, Tom walked the Camino de Santiago de Compostela from St. Jean de Pied in southwestern France to Santiago in northwestern Spain. We decided to do it together in 2014, along with our friend Cindy, and starting 500 miles further east in Le Puy, France. This historic pilgrimage route is walked annually by thousands of people...and now we count ourselves among them.

We aren't taking any "technology" with us, so we'll be using public pay-by-the-hour computers with strangely arranged keyboards and (perhaps) slow Internet access. But we'll attempt to post regularly.

Buen camino!

1000!

We passed our 1000 kilometer mark today, still about 522 to go to Santiago. Weather continues to be cool (for which we´re very glad) and rainy (for which we are NOT glad). We head to Burgos tomorrow, having done 30k today, which is more than we like to do in a day but will make the trip to Burgos a shorter day, plus taking Monday there. We plan to stay in a pension instead of an alburgue--a room for 4 with our Norwegian friend Annbeirt (and I´m sure I´ve misspelled her name).

We´re having paella for dinner tonight here at the alburgue as the town is too small to have a restaurant!
Buen camino!
