Italians and Puppies and 19-year old Knees; Highlights of the Camino del Norte
This is the first year that I haven't written daily journal posts from my summer long-distance walking adventures. Last year's recaps from the Pennine Way took me nearly 10 months to write (or some incredibly delayed amount of time like that), and ...

In the Footsteps of Pilgrims; an Overview of the Camino de San Salvador
Quien va a Santiago y no a San Salvador, sirve al criado y deja al Senor. He who goes to Santiago and not to San Salvador, honors the servant and forsakes the Lord. I saw these words painted onto the wall of the albergue in La Robla. It was the end of my first day walking the Camino de San ...
